Β @danwylie-sears1134Β I think that the recent turn of events has simply emphasised that it would only be Russia that would be imposing the barrier. Before the blockade was to prevent access to the Ukrainian seaports, which may have been assumed as a legitimate activity in wartime. However, since Russia had accesded to the opening of the grain shipment corridor, it was no longer perceived as acceptable for RuZZia to re-impose the blockade.
Their may also have been other forces (non-military) at play; China, Egypt and others.
RuZZia may also have caused a problem for themselves, since they were complaining that they could not ship out their fertilizer and grains. The problem of shipping Russia's fertilizer and grains, may thus have been precipitated by the RuZZians themselves. In the event that the RuZZians resumed their participation in the agreement with Ukraine, Turkey and the UN, other ships would again feel safe entering and sailing across the black Sea.
The shippers did not want to come into the Black Sea ports to ship RuZZia's grain and fertilizer because of the high risks associated with sailing that Sea.

"After suspending its participation in a grain deal brokered by Turkey and the U.N., Moscow said it wouldnβt guarantee security for any cargo vessels crossing the Black Sea."
Unfortunately, Russia "cut off its nose to viciously punish its face."
