Honestly i dont know how the war has been going for 1.5 years and only now is there a blockade
I think there was agreement to keep shipping lanes open in exchange for Russia being able to sell grain. West just put an embargo on Russian grain exports, blockade is response. I won't swear to that, just seems what I remember enre deal.
I think russia was leaving it open and closed it due to it being used to get arms in to ukraine and saboteurs out
Yes my understanding is that this blockade is similar to what was in place before the grain deal was made.
