    I thought Turkey closed the Bosporus and Dardanelles to all warships? This will be great for Ukraine if they can get them.

      Pretty sure Turkey would let any warship belonging to Ukraine or their allies through the corridor. The Bosporus is only closed for Russian ships.

      There are other ways into the Black Sea…

      Edit: rather than just downvoting, why not consider that the Danube exists and is plenty of patrol boats/frigates based up and down it by Ukraine friendly nations.
