Because it's blackmailing.... Maybe that's a very short answer, but it's really blackmail. It's a violation of any and all international rules and order. You cannot, first, purposefully block ports, then allow two routes and ask about the lifting of all sanctions.
Next time, they will come and block the Baltic countries, and they will say, “Okay, we need $10 billion, then we will unblock it.” It's blackmail. It's criminal behaviour. You cannot accept it if you want to have worldwide rules and order, with people respecting international laws and order. You have to punish such blackmailers. You cannot agree to this blackmail. We need to find other ways besides the lifting of sanctions.
I think the routes are a temporary solution. Routes with UN convoys will allow us to export, but the most sustainable way is with heavy weapons.
Thank you for your support. I'm from the opposition, actually, but we are united in Ukraine because we understand we have one enemy. We have to fight this beast first, and then we will argue about other things inside Ukraine as opposition and ruling parties, so thank you for your support.
