SNIPPET:
Taiwan’s Defence Ministry said the ship sailed in a northerly
direction through the Strait, that its forces had monitored its
passage and observed nothing out of the ordinary.
Taiwan is currently in a heightened state of alert due to
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, nervous that China may try to take
advantage of the situation to make a move on the island though
the government has reported no unusual Chinese maneuvers.
Last year, U.S. naval ships transited the Strait roughly
monthly. Saturday’s sailing was the first since November.

👋 Goedendag!*
Welcome to Tuesday, where Ukraine’s president calls Russian
targeting of central Kharkiv a war crime, Russian troops are
closing in on Kyiv and Die Welt reports from near the Russian
exclave of Kaliningrad on the rising fear following Putin’s
putting nuclear forces on high alert. We also look at how
countries around the world are coming around to the
controversial COVID policies of Sweden.
[*Dutch for "Good Day"]
🌎 7 THINGS TO KNOW RIGHT NOW
• Zelensky denounces Kharkiv war crime, Russians bear down on
Kyiv: The center of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second biggest city, has
been hit by a Russian strike which caused a massive explosion
and destroyed a government building, after Russian forces
bombarded Ukraine’s second-biggest city on Monday, killing at
least 9 civilians. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky
denounced the bombardment as a war crime. At least 70 soldiers
were also killed in an attack on a military unit in the eastern
city of Okhtyrka. Meanwhile, satellite images show a massive
64-kilometer-long Russian military convoy is closing in on Kyiv.
• Next round of peace talks to be held in a few days: Officials
from Ukraine and Russia ended peace talks on Monday at the
Rumyantsev-Paskevich residence in Gomel, Belarus on Monday
without any breakthrough or a secured ceasefire, but both sides
agreed to meet again later this week to return with potential
grounds for compromise.
• African refugees fleeing Ukraine say they face racism at
border: As African governments scramble to help their nationals
escape Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, reports are emerging of
racist and unfair treatment of African citizens, as well as
African and Indian students, at the border with Poland. The UN
has reported that more than half a million people have fled
Ukraine since the invasion started.
• Lockdown fears cause panic buying in Hong Kong: Hong Kong’s
leader Carrie Lam urged calm after residents stripped
supermarket shelves bare amid rumors and mixed messaging from
the government about a potential city-wide lockdown. Authorities
plan to test all 7.4 million residents at the end of this month
as Hong Kong has reported more than 190,000 infections in the
last two months, compared to just 12,000 in the past two years.
• Three-year military-led transition approved in Burkina Faso:
Following a military coup last January, Burkina Faso’s junta has
adopted a charter allowing a three-year transition period before
the West African country heads to elections.
• Russia-Ukraine war affects sport and entertainment: Hollywood
studios Warner Bros., Disney, and Sony Pictures announced they
would “pause” the release of their films in Russia, including
one of this year’s most anticipated movies, The Batman.
Meanwhile, soccer federations FIFA and UEFA have expelled Russia
from the 2022 World Cup and suspended the country’s clubs and
national teams from all their competitions.
• T. rex may have been three species: Researchers studying
fossils of T. rex found in lower layers of sediment have
discovered that the fearsome predator may have had two
🦖🦖 sibling tyrannosaurus species
HTML https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/28/world/t-rex-three-different-dinosaurs-scn/index.html,<br
/>that the scientists named Tyrannosaurus imperator (tyrant
lizard
emperor) and Tyrannosaurus regina (tyrant lizard queen).

The measures have triggered an exodus of foreign firms, raised
the prospect of Russia defaulting on its sovereign debt, and

[center]Black Sea Convoys…Odesa, We Have a Problem![/center]
The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 had a
profound impact on shipping in the Black Sea. To prevent the
Russian Navy from sailing into their ports and attempting to
seize them in a coup de main, Ukrainian tugboats and naval
auxiliaries mined the waters along the coast of the Gulf of
Odesa. At the same time, surface units of the Russian fleet
appeared off the coast and seized Zmiinyi Island, commonly
referred to as Snake Island.
For ships like the Marshall Island-registered bulker MV Riva
Wind or the Hong Kong-flagged COSCO containership Joseph
Schulte, the war meant not only they were trapped, but the world
had an issue with the export of vital raw materials, in
particular grain, from the port of Odesa…We Have a Problem!
Black Sea 💥 Battlefield
At the end of January, in an article for gCaptain, I wrote,
“Both Ukraine and Russia are major exporters of corn and wheat
and, therefore, major food suppliers around the world…Any
conflict, or even the threat, has the potential to interdict or
raise the price of such commodities around the world.” Since
then, we have seen the food and fuel issue resonate to the
forefront of world concern.
In early May, retired Admiral James Stavridis, who commanded
NATO, examined what the Black Sea front of the Ukraine-Russia
War would look like in the months ahead. He identified several
key issues including, the Ukrainians intending to contest
control near the coast, the Russians may use the sea as a
“flanking zone” to come around the Ukrainian lines, and a
blockade to sever the Ukrainian economy from global markets.
Another retired admiral, James Foggo, currently the Dean of the
Center for Maritime Studies with the US Navy League, in a series
of articles (Part I and Part II) has noted the Russian plan to
dominate the Black Sea, and their intention to menace the world
with hunger and revolution. Since its operations against Georgia
in 2008, and its annexation of Crimea in 2014, Russia has
expanded its control of the northern coast of the Black Sea.
While many focused on the Russian drive against Kyiv, the effort
to secure the northern shore of the Sea of Azov, between Crimea
and Donbas was essential to the Russians. Barge and inland
trade down the Don River, from the Caspian Sea via the Don-Volga
canal, and the entire Unified Deep Water System of European
Russia that links not only the Black and Caspian Seas but also
the Baltic and White Seas are essential to Russian trade.
This explains the Russian focus to neutralize Mariupol which
served as a barrier for Russian ships to sail out of the Sea of
Azov, via the Kerch Straits, and into the Black Sea. Currently,
ships sail through the Sea of Azov under convoy by the Russian
Navy with their AIS transponders turned off to mask them from
Ukrainian forces.
This brings us to the question of what the world should do
regarding the maritime developments in the Black Sea. We know
that many countries have provided aid to the Ukrainians in their
fight, both in terms of weaponry and intelligence. David
Beasley, the executive director of the United Nation’s World
Food Programme stated, “Truly, failure to open those ports in
Odesa region will be a declaration of war on global food
security. And it will result in famine and destabilization and
mass migration around the world.”
This is a Job for Tom Hanks! ;)
The resumption of food shipments has global implications and
leaves the world with several options. These alternatives can
be summarized in what I refer to as the Tom Hanks thesis.
[center]
HTML https://youtu.be/TV9mTEdQow8[/center]
The ships that are trapped in ports along the Gulf of Odesa, in
both Ukrainian and Russian-occupied territories find them unable
to return home (Apollo 13). The ships have not moved from the
docks in months and many of the ships may not be able to sail
without some repairs.
Some of the crews have been repatriated but others remain
trapped on their vessels, mariners from around the world in a
foreign land (The Terminal). These sailors did not mean to get
themselves into this situation. They merely wanted to deliver
their cargo and at the end of their voyages return home
(Castaway).
This brings us to the heart of the issue facing the world,
should the mariners be forced to fend for themselves, and
perhaps aid will come to them if the ships are flying the
correct flag and the mariners are citizens from a nation with a
navy that can fight for them (Captain Phillips). Or should the
major nations of the world, negotiate with Turkey to relax the
Montreux Convention and allow them to sail through the Turkish
Straits and defend shipping as it runs into the Ukrainian ports
along the Gulf of Odesa (Greyhound)?
The Reality
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the US Maritime
Administration have issued advisories regarding the situation in
and around the Black Sea; albeit with dated and limited
pertinent information on the developing situation. The biggest
threat identified is that of mines – either laid by the
Ukrainians or Russians – breaking loose from their moorings and
drifting toward the Turkish Straits or the Danube River.
NATO does aid commercial shipping via their ATP-02.1 – Naval
Cooperation and Guidance for Shipping (NCAGS) Manual. However,
the 54-page document merely provides information and
recommendations. What is lacking is the presence of naval
personnel and assets to assist should it be needed. While there
are some NATO naval units in the Black Sea – those of Romania,
Bulgaria, and Turkey – no others have been in the area since
January. There are air and ground assets in the area.
Of particular concern is that after the sinking of Moskva, and
the Ukrainian assaults against the Russian position on Snake
Island, the fleet of bulk vessels and tankers waiting to enter
the Danube – the border between Ukraine and Romania – has grown.
AIS tracking has shown a growing fleet of vessels at anchor in
Romanian waters but only 15 to 25 miles southwest of Snake
Island.
While the surface threat has changed, the Russians as recently
as May 24 conducted a large demonstration in the Gulf of Odesa
with the majority of their amphibious forces. The Russians still
possess a sizable fleet in the Black Sea, including a force of
five Kilo-class submarines. Add to this, the Russians moved in
several jack-up rigs and seized Ukrainian oil platforms across
the Gulf of Odesa, from Snake Island to Crimea to establish a
picket line to monitor any ships sailing into or out of the
region.
The Russian offensive has made them the biggest winners in the
food crisis they have helped to create. With global wheat prices
climbing by 50%, Moscow has been able to generate $1.9 billion
in revenue from export taxes. The massive reduction in Ukrainian
exports has prompted some European leaders to push for naval
escorts of ships into the Black Sea and to reroute grain through
other ports.
The latter is currently being done in a limited fashion due to
issues with a difference in railway gauges between Ukraine and
Europe, the utilization of Ukrainian ports along the Danube, and
just the sheer volume of grain that needs to be moved. It is
estimated that of the 6 million tons of grain usually exported
by sea, only 1 to 1.5 million is getting out currently; not
including that which has been taken by Russia and shipped out by
them.
The Russians have not been quiet on the subject. They have
focused the blame for the food shortage on the fact that Ukraine
has mined its own waters and that Russia has announced the
lifting of some sanctions and the opening of humanitarian
passages to allow ships to sail. But Ukrainian Foreign Minister
Dmytro Kuleba has called the Russian announcement ‘Blackmail’.
It is also unlikely, based on past Russian actions against
merchant ships, including the killing of a Bangladeshi engineer
and the sinking of the Estonian-owned vessel Helt.
Conclusion
The current situation stands with Russian grain and oil flowing
out of the eastern half of the Black Sea, via the Kerch Strait
and the port of Novorossiysk. The Russians have their navy
centrally located at Sevastopol in Crimea. The Gulf of Odesa is
a contested sea with the Russians making infrequent forays into
the region and the Ukrainians remaining behind their minefields,
but with the ability to strike by air, drone, and shore-based
missiles.
Along the western shore of the Black Sea, the fight for Snake
Island has become a war of attrition between the two opposing
sides, while small and medium-size bulk ships and tankers,
registered largely in open registries, brave potential strikes,
and errant mines to load grain out of Reni and Izmail and
offload needed fuel. Further south, Romania, Bulgaria, and
Turkey monitor their territorial waters and ensure the safe
passage of ships within their waters.
The potential does exist for the Russians to strike at ships
loaded with Ukrainian grain or for the Ukrainians to hit Russian
laden vessels, possibly with Ukrainian wheat. Such a situation
could then see the Black Sea degenerate into the Tanker War in
the Persian Gulf of the 1980s when Iran and Iraq targeted each
other’s vessels and those of neutral states as their war dragged
on over disputed territory. Hopefully, the Black Sea does not
devolve into a situation akin to The Money Pit or worse, Saving
Private Ryan.
