End of blackmail diplomacy: grain corridor to resume operations Wednesday, Erdogan says<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said shipments via the Ukraine grain corridor would resume around midday on Wednesday, November 2, Bloomberg said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a phone call with Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that shipments through the grain corridor will resume. The UN earlier said that no ships involved in the grain export deal will transit the corridor on Wednesday after Russia halted the grain deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia\u2019s Defense Ministry said Russia was resuming participation in the deal because it had received \u201cwritten guarantees\u201d from Ukraine that the safe-passage corridor wouldn\u2019t be used for military purposes. Later, Russian President Putin said that Turkey not Ukraine directly provided the guarantees. He ordered the Defense Ministry to resume participation in the deal, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin said Russia \u201cretains the right to leave the grain export deal if Ukraine violates the guarantees\u201d. Russia\u2019s misleading statements are not new. Russia\u2019s navy is a legitimate military target for the Ukrainian troops, if the Ukrainian Armed Forces are behind the attack on the warships of Russia\u2019s Black Sea Fleet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 29, Russia suspended its participation in the grain deal following explosions in Sevastopol that Russia blamed on Ukraine and the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia\u2019s withdrawal from the grain deal is an act of food blackmail, Ukraine said. Russia is pulling out under false pretenses, the statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia renews claims of nuclear weapons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a statement on November 2, Russia\u2019s Foreign Affairs Ministry called on members of the nuclear club to avoid direct confrontation because of \u201cdangerous attempts to limit vital interests\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the current situation that \u201cresulted from irresponsible and shameless actions aimed at undermining our national security”, the primary task is to prevent any military confrontation between nuclear states, the Russian Ministry of Foreign affairs said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe call on the other five nuclear-weapon states to demonstrate their readiness to work on this priority and abandon dangerous attempts to limit each other’s vital interests, balancing on the brink of a direct armed conflict and encouraging provocations with weapons of mass destruction that can lead to catastrophic consequences,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Russian military leaders recently had conversations to discuss when and how Moscow might use a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine, contributing to heightened concern in Washington and allied capitals, according to multiple senior American officials, The New York Times said. President Vladimir V. Putin was not a part of the conversations, which were held against the backdrop of Russia\u2019s intensifying nuclear rhetoric and battlefield setbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the fact that senior Russian military leaders were even having the discussions alarmed the Biden administration because it showed how frustrated Russian generals were about their failures on the ground, and suggests that Mr. Putin\u2019s veiled threats to use nuclear weapons might not just be words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, American officials said they had seen no evidence that the Russians were moving nuclear weapons into place or taking other tactical measures to prepare for a strike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. officials would not describe the scenarios the military leaders considered for use of a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainian President Zelenskyi refused to assess the possibility of Russia using its nuclear weapons. In an interview with the Czech television released on his social media on November 2, Zelenskyi said he was not sure that Russia would use nuclear weapons, but he declined a suggestion to assess the probability of it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to a question if the nuclear war was possible as Russia kept threatening to use its nukes, the President said: \u201cI’m not sure. I don’t even want to predict [Russia\u2019s actions], because Russia likes to do the opposite…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2019What do they say in Ukraine?\u2019 \u2013 \u2018There will be no use of nuclear weapons,\u2019 \u2013 \u2018Let’s think about how to use them.\u2019 I don’t want to give an assessment because the threat is there. We should not fear that. We should not fear Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think they [the Russians] are rational. Russia\u2019s ultimatums or failure to meet their conditions are not linked to the use of [nuclear] weapons. These are unrelated things,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
