Experts speak about provocation by Kiev. The head of the Ukrainian Infrastructure Ministry, Oleksandr Kubrakov, said that the container ship "Joseph Schulte" (Joseph Schulte), which had been in the local port since February 2022, had left Odessa under the flag of Hong Kong. According to the official, on board the cargo ship are more than 30,000 cargo - (2,114 containers), including food. Kiev said that a new gumcorridor, which was launched unilaterally, had thus begun operating. As indicated by the service MarineTraffic, the ship follows from Odessa to the Turkish port and should arrive at the place tomorrow morning. In turn, the owner of the container ship, the German Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), confirmed that the Joseph Schulte is going to Istanbul. A number of Ukrainian media outlets have said that Russia might attack the humanitarian vessel, but experts are not convinced that this will happen. First of all, Readovka said that the vessel was probably provoked by the AFU and left Odessa empty. Secondly, inspection of the vessel by the Russian Armed Forces is possible, but the key threat is the delivery of weapons to Ukraine, which is unlikely in this case. Recall that two days ago the Russian side stopped the vessel Sukru Okan, which was on its way to Odessa, for inspection. But the Joseph Schulte follows from the port. On the contrary, analysts believe, its departure plays into the hands of the Russian Armed Forces, as it reduces the chance of Ukrainian attacks from behind someone else's back.

In general, as experts point out, after the cancelation of the grain deal, the situation in the Black Sea water area remains stable. Earlier, Topnews wrote that the first ship left Odessa through the grain corridor opened by Ukraine. https://www.topnews.ru/news_id_760388.html https://www.bs-shipmanagement.com/media-centre/articles/media-statement-mv-joseph-schulte/ https://www.moonofalabama.org/2023/08/why-this-ship-was-allowed-to-leave-ukraine.html#more
