The UK government stepped in to provide insurance in the wars.
Just one of those little bits of war history that people generally don't get excited about. It's really fascinating though.

Russia won't attack the ships they don't want to risk NATO involvement, they will just increase bombing on the docks and storage because they are petty cawerds.

It would have to venture out of its port first ;-)

Nah, you've heard of Pearl Harbor, right? US and Turkish air power in Turkey could sink them in Sevastopol in short measure. It wouldn't even be that challenging at this point if Ukranian drones can attack the fleet in port.

Even with everything they're up against they're still putting food on the world's plates. Meanwhile Russia responds with mass attacks against civilian targets.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 83%. (I'm a bot)
> Ukraine has shipped a daily record tonnage of grain via a UN and Turkish administered scheme despite the withdrawal of Russia, and warnings from Moscow that continuing grain shipments without its approval would be "Risky".
> A large convoy of ships carrying grain set sail from Odesa on Monday despite Russia pulling out of the UN-brokered deal - designed to stave off a global hunger crisis - in retaliation for a drone attack on warships based in the Black Sea port of Sevastopol.
> At least 12 ships carrying grain left Ukrainian ports on Monday, including the Admiral de Ribas and Mount Baker, which left the port days after Russia suspended its participation in an agreement that allowed vital grain shipments to pass through the Black Sea.

>Another looming issue may be whether insurers are willing to provide cover for grain shipments if Russia is not participating in the deal. On Monday, the Lloyd’s insurer Ascot said it had paused writing cover for new shipments using the Ukrainian grain corridor until it could better understand the situation.
That could be a problem if one gets sunk, i always find it fascinating how they managed to keep supplying the UK in ww2 considering the amount of shipping that got sunk.
