They've proven to be trouble twice, I seriously doubt Putler is going to give them a third chance.
Whatever their mission may be from hereout, it will most likely be one-way.

They will be needed for second special military operation to take Kiev in 3 days two decades from now.
On a serious note: Russia already had important demographic issues before the war. War causalities, brain drain due to sanctions and over all, mobilization exodus, have deepened the crisis.
Russia’s population nightmare is going to get even worse

Maybe it's an off-ramp .... for kayaks ... or submarines?

I'd love to see Ukraine get some subs.Maybe it's an off-ramp .... for kayaks ... or submarines?
Until then, drones it is.
Innovative Submarine Drone Is Ukraine’s New Weapon Against Russian Navy - Naval News
Ukraine is becoming known for using unconventional naval vessels against the Russian Navy. It's 'maritime drone', which are robot boats loaded with explosives, have helped shape the war in the Black Sea.

Imagine if Ukraine had kept possession of their old Foxtrot class submarine Zaporizhzhia. By now it would have been sent to a NATO-member Black Sea naval yard for a thorough upgrade. Its commander could spend the year of the refit taking the Perisher course.

I may be wrong, but I think there is footage of the Python system in use in Ukraine. However, the platform was a lighter UK tracked armoured vehicle that I did not recognize.
Russian MoD announced that since July 20th all ships following the Black Sea to Ukrainian ports will be perceived by Russia as military ships.

The comments by Moscow’s Defense Ministry came after Russia withdrew from a deal allowing Ukraine to ship grain, and after strikes that Ukraine said were aimed at grain infrastructure.

I think that is a very bad idea for the Russians.

Specially if the ships have a Turkey flag.

If they start sinking grain ships indiscriminately, more countries will have reason to want to hurt the Russians. It would literally be easier to sink the entire Russian Black Sea Fleet (including the subs), and largely knock out the Russian air force and short range ballistic missile assets in the border areas, than to escort the Ukraine ships. And that does not even take into account the bad effects of the loss of grain to the rest of the world.
As RogerdeLluria implied, ti would not be a good idea to piss of Turkey.

. But not just Turkey. In the Black Sea, NATO also has the Bulgarian and Romanian fleets.Imagine you're the captain of the forty year old Romanian corvette C.E. Sebastian escorting a bulk carrier from the Bosporus to Odessa. A pair of SU-34s roar over head, turn and launch their antiship missiles at the bulk carrier, setting it on fire. Your only anti-air weapon is your 30 mm CIWS, so you engage as they fly past while radioing to NATO command for help.

I have no doubt of Nato's ability to get ships through to and from Ukraine. It's the civilian freight companies and their ships and civilian crews that are the concern. No insurance through that area at the very least.
