"Unpredictable actions and, moreover, the involvement of the Kiev regime in terrorist acts, of course, potentially creates a threat in this area, because the Kiev regime is absolutely unpredictable. It does not shun anything. Therefore, of course, such statements directly carry a danger," Peskov said, answering the question of whether the Kremlin sees a danger to civilian ships in this situation.

Afterward, it will be possible to draw conclusions and formulate recommendations," he said, when asked whether Russia sees risks for the export of its oil and other goods across the Black Sea following recent statements by Ukraine.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said in an interview with the US magazine Time earlier that Kiev was ready to take any risk to continue exporting its grain across the Black Sea, even after Russia had pulled out of the grain deal and warned that it would regard all ships that travel across the sea to Ukrainian ports as carriers of military cargoes.
