On June 30, as a goodwill gesture, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation finished fulfilling the assigned tasks in Snake Island and withdrew the garrison that had been operating there.
The Russian Federation has demonstrated to the international society the absence of any obstacles for the efforts of UN to establish a humanitarian corridor for transporting agricultural products from Ukraine.......
........
This is complete horseshit, what relevance does Russian retreat from that island have with transportation of agricultural goods?
Ships won't be travelling over that island
If they wanted to move agricultural good by sea all they had to do was to move them, status of the island is irrelevant
Looks to me like another pathetic attempt by Russia to win PR cookie points which as everyone could have told them failed immediately:
Russian Forces Have Been Driven From Snake Island

Following heavy Ukrainian bombardment, Russian forces have now performed a “tactical withdrawal” from the strategic outpost in the Black Sea.
I am sure that families of all those Russian grunts who died there are super happy about their boys giving their lives for futile PR stunt
