History has shown that targetting civilian shipping is a great way to convince countries to enter a war. This will not go well for Puta.

I could see someone like the UK send in military ships for "civilian de-mining operations" that leads to also being used to escort civilian ships. Seems like a great way to up the level of support without going to war.
The UK assesses Russia is seeking to target civilian shipping travelling through Ukraine’s ‘humanitarian corridor’ in order to deter the export of Ukrainian grain. This would continue Russia’s attempts to pressure the Ukrainian economy. Russia almost certainly wants to avoid openly sinking civilian ships, instead falsely laying blame on Ukraine for any attacks against civilian vessels in the Black Sea.
By releasing our assessment of this intelligence, the UK seeks to expose Russia’s tactics to deter any such incident from occurring.
More of the usual from Russia. Glad to see the international community continue to pre-empt their lies.
