LONDON ― Amid mounting calls to break Russia’s blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports for grain exports, America’s top military officer said that to do so militarily would amount to a “high risk military operation.”Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the remarks to reporters as he arrived here Tuesday to meet with his “Five Eyes” counterparts before heading to Finland and Sweden, which have applied for NATO membership, later this week.The Five Eyes intelligence sharing alliance includes Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The meetings come as Russia is battling to capture the eastern industrial region of the Donbas and as its blockade of Odesa, the main port by which Ukraine exports its grain, is fueling a global food crisis.
