Russian Soldiers have evacuated from Snake Island in the Black Sea off Ukraine's coast as a "gesture of goodwill," said Moscow’s defense minister in an update.
The ministry said, “Russian Federation has demonstrated to the international society the absence of any obstacles for the efforts of UN to establish a humanitarian corridor for transporting agricultural products from Ukraine.”
This arrangement will prevent Kyiv from speculating on an impending food crisis by mentioning Russia's complete control of the Black Sea's northern section, the statement further added.
Meanwhile, the head of Ukraine's president's office has lauded Russia's pullout from Snake Island.
“KABOOM! No Russian troops on the Snake Island anymore. Our Armed Forces did a great job,” Andriy Yermak said in a tweet. “More kaboom news to follow. All will be 🇺🇦”
