The number of ships waiting at the Black Sea entrance of the Bosphorus reached 120. Ships are waiting for the control of contraband weapons, which is proposed by Russia. Controls take an extremely long time and the number of control teams is low considering the high number of vessel traffic in the grain corridor. Because Russia did not respond to the proposal to increase it, the number of control teams cannot be increased.
