Ukraine responds reciprocally to Russian blackmail, will consider "vessels heading to Russian ports as potential carriers of military cargo" - Euromaidan Press
[...]

Reciprocally, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense published a statement on 20 July:

The Russian Federation has once again brutally violated the universal right to free navigation for the whole world and is deliberately undermining food security, condemning millions of people to starvation,” the statement reads. “Openly threatening civilian ships transporting food from Ukrainian ports, launching missile attacks and drone attacks on civilian infrastructure in peaceful cities, deliberately creating a military threat on trade routes, the Kremlin has turned the Black Sea into a danger zone, primarily for Russian ships and ships heading to the Black Sea waters in the direction of seaports of the Russian Federation and Ukrainian seaports located on the temporarily occupied territory. The responsibility for all risks lies entirely with the Russian leadership. The fate of the cruiser “Moscow” proves that the Defense Forces of Ukraine have the necessary means to repel Russian aggression at sea. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine warns that from 00:00 on July 21, 2023, all vessels heading in the waters of the Black Sea in the direction of the seaports of the Russian Federation and Ukrainian seaports located on the territory of Ukraine temporarily occupied by Russia may be considered by Ukraine as carrying military cargo with all the corresponding risks.
