The Ukrainian president and the Pentagon chief also discussed navigation in the Black Sea and ensuring the functioning of an alternative grain corridor after Russia’s demarche.

“It is crucial that we have managed to make progress in establishing control over the Black Sea, as well as ensuring the operation of an alternative humanitarian route. This allows Ukraine to remain a guarantor of global food security,” Zelenskyy stated.
