The North Atlantic Alliance is not considering attracting its military forces to create a corridor for Ukrainian exports across the Black Sea. NATO believes that this will exacerbate the conflict with Russia.

“Involving NATO military capabilities will not help resolve the situation. On the contrary, we believe that it will lead to aggravation,” he said when asked about options for unblocking trade routes from Ukraine through the Black Sea.”
Geoana noted that the partners are trying to find other solutions. The first is by rail and highways to EU ports, and this route, despite its shortcomings, already allows for the export of at least some of the grain destined for export.
“The second solution – which is actually very difficult – is to organize safe corridors in the Black Sea. Their co-organizer will be Russia because Russia is a player at this stage,” said Mircea Geoana.
He noted the attempts of Turkey to mediate, which is working on this issue as a member of NATO, as well as, the participation of the UN.
