"Russia's Warning: Ships Bound for Ukraine Face Consequences"

Russia has warned that ships traveling to Ukraine's Black Sea ports will be considered potential military targets, as Kyiv sets up a temporary shipping route via Romania to continue grain exports. Russia's defense ministry stated that all ships traveling to Ukraine will be deemed as potentially carrying military cargo, and the flag countries of such ships will be considered parties to the Ukrainian conflict. The announcement comes as the US accuses Russia of using food as a "weapon of war" and warns of potential attacks on civilian ships in the Black Sea.
