President ​Volodymyr ‌Zelenskiy said on ​Monday there will ‌be a "diplomatic track" with Russia discussing Moscow's stepped-up attacks ‌in the Black Sea ‌that have curbed Ukraine's export capabilities. Ukraine will also ⁠strengthen ​its ⁠air defences in the region, he ⁠told reporters.

"There is ​no total blockade today, ⁠but there is an ⁠attempt at ​one. Nevertheless, three or four ships ⁠a day are entering ⁠and leaving ⁠Greater Odesa," he added.
