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.
The Joint Coordination Center supervising the Ukrainian grain export agreement across the Black Sea said that 12 Ukrainian cargo ships are scheduled to leave on Monday, with four ships, including one that raises the Turkish flag, said that four ships, including one, will leave the Turkish flag.
Amir Abdullah, the UN Coordinator for the Ukrainian Grain Initiative, wrote on Monday morning, “No civil shipment should become a military target or to be kept as a hostage. Food must pass.
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.
