According to the specialised “Marine Travik” website, the cargo ships, loaded with grain from Ukrainian ports, departed on Monday for Turkey along the humanitarian corridor despite Russia’s termination of the deal.
Four Ukrainian cargo ships, including one that flies the Turkish flag, are among the twelve slated to depart on Monday, according to the Joint Coordination Center, which oversees the Black Sea grain export deal between Ukraine and Russia.
“No civil shipment should be used as a target by the military or kept prisoner. Food has to go, “On Monday morning, Amir Abdullah, the UN coordinator for the Ukrainian Grain Initiative, issued a letter.
At 5:30 GMT, the shipping vessel “Admiral de Rebas,” which flies the Palo Au flag, sailed from the port of Chornomorsk. Less than an hour later, the vessel “Mount Baker,” which flies the Hong Kong flag, departed from the same port close to Odysse.
Coincidentally, the Turkish commercial ship “Ocean Legend” departed Istanbul and entered the Bosphorus Strait’s humanitarian corridor on its way to Ukraine.
Following an attack on its fleet in the Crimea by illuminations, Russia has ceased its participation in the international convention on the transfer of grains from Ukraine that was agreed this summer. On Sunday, it announced its withdrawal from ship inspections “until another notice.”
According to the Joint Coordination Committee, ten teams from the inspector are expected to investigate 40 ships sailing toward Ukraine on Monday after the delegations of Turkey and the UN decided to contribute more resources.
Despite Russia’s cancellation of the export deal, two ships carrying grain leave Ukrainian ports.
