russian warships and comes amid increasing tensions in the black sea. to the summer sun send and see the beaches of odessa reopened this month. for the 1st time since rush us invasion, it may look identical, but this ukrainian black, c, c, c is now at the house of the battle of the military and geopolitical interest. russia has long been the prominent naval power in the black sea with its fleet stationed in crimea. but the western shows are controlled by nato allies. romania and bulgaria, and parts of the eastern shore belongs to nature popular georgia. in the south nato member techie is the gatekeeper of the black sea, controlling the only access point through the bus press straits. in the early days of the war, russia started mining ukrainian waters and blockading its ports,
8:03 pm
including odessa. the blockade disrupted ukraine's great exports, leaving millions of people affected, particularly in african nations. dounia often months of uncertainty techies, president rep, tie up at one and the united nations and broke it a d last summer for russia to allow ukraine to explore its grain. but in july this year, ahead of the russia, africa summit, vladimir putin pulled out of the deal with most co announcing ships. the southern ukrainian ports would no longer be saving it when they got the federal in the tensions continue to rise as rush. i began the bombing campaign targeting ukraine support infrastructure in odessa that forced ukraine to find alternative routes, sending its exports to smaller ports along the river, down you on its west and boulder. but that to russia took action bombing, the ports of rennie scene has failed in just a few 100 meters away in romania and nato country law. ukraine also
8:04 pm
ramped up its attacks targeting navy vessels in russian poets and several russian ships in the black sea. and then last week came another clash with rushes, navy firing warning shouts at a plow flag vessel afterwards failed to stop for inspection. it was boarded in a dramatic rate, but lights were allowed to continue to ukrainian. done, you porch rushed as president has said he is open to returning to the great deal, but only in exchange for better conditions for russia's own exports, but by throw ukrainian grey and ex both remain stuck in storage facilities and in trucks waiting to be picks up as the black sea stand off as fast reaching boiling point, you need uh some you know, who's in rico lot via so dw, told us more about the likelihood of russia intercepting one of these grain ships from ukraine. or what of course,
8:05 pm
we can't really predict what will happen. that is fairly a question i would say to the russian military. but as we heard, and the report before russia has warned that it will consider any ships, any vessels coming out of the crate in ports as potential military targets. and we also saw that on last sunday, actually, russian worship fire warning shots at a vessel in the black sea. so i think this really already points to therapy a certain risk for any vessels in the area. and so far we haven't seen an official reaction, a russian official reaction to the story of the ukrainian vessel meeting the port. and i think this also points to the fact that they just have don't have anything to add to that because they already said what could happen, meaning of that any, any best or in the region is considered by russia as a potential military target. so what's about the deal that allowed the safe,
8:06 pm
lexi export of ukraine's great to deal with russia walked away from last month. i mean, is there any chance of that being brought back to life or exactly of russia exit at the deal in july of the deal that made sure that there's some sides of a save way of for grading shipments of ukraine from the black sea. and yeah, we've also since been seen of russia increasing a tax on ukraine in grain infrastructure. and for example, last night on the part of a new that is actually viable for ukrainian grain exports. and also the russian defense minister cycle spoke at a security conference in moscow yesterday, where he mentioned the black sea green deal. and there he said that he was just using the deal as a cover from military of, from new south,
8:07 pm
from russia. and he also claimed that ukraine was stocking munition and weapons in odessa and of a ports in the black sea. so of course, this kind of points to the russian defense minister also not really being in favor of the grand to any more. and also rush, i have said before that it would only go back to the the, to the grand deal if its own conditions were fulfilled. which are that the sanctions will be listed. and we're talking there about sanctions regarding economic confident, financial sanctions regarding fertilizer and great exports from russia. so i think it's fair to say that the steel is not really alive right now. you don't use your nina, some you know, that are forcing from rica. thank you. so much i of russia has begun testing it's new digital rubel with consumers. so seen banks all participating as well as a limited number of that clients. now the move by russian central bank is expected
