The first ship carrying Ukrainian grain has set out from the port of Odesa. The departure of the ship laden with corn follows an internationally brokered deal that is expected to finally allow large stores of Ukrainian crops to reach foreign markets and ease a growing hunger crisis.

How long before Russia hits either the ship or the port again?
My understanding is the ship and the tug accompanying it left early this morning our time and as of now is still untouched.
Who knows, it might hit a sea mine, which Russia will say was Ukrainian... that's what I'd do if I was a criminal like Putin.
What is wrong with you? Sea mines are all ukrainian, this is not in a dispute.
They put them there to prevent russian attack on Odessa. and around. They said did not hide that fact. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?
I didn't claim the mines aren't Ukrainian. I was suggesting that Russia could attack the ship (with a torpedo or mine or whatever) and
pretend it was an Ukrainian mine. Just like it tried to pretend that Russia killing 53 POWs in Olenivka was an Ukrainian HIMARS strike.
In any case, that was pure speculation. The ship made it, and I'm glad I was wrong.
Ukrainian army DID hit their own prisoners
Just because your lying press says it could have been russians does not make it so.
No, it doesn't, but the
evidence does make it so.
A Russian admits in
an intercepted call that there were bombs inside the prison, and the explosions were covered with a Grad barrage (and gunshots afterwards, I guess to finish off any surviving M31 rocket...). And he scene doesn't look at all like a HIMARS strike, it looks like a fire: no impact crater, walls still standing and ceiling not blown off, flimsy beds almost intact except for the fire, and no impact crater.
This is what a HIMARS strikes look like:

And this is Olenivka:

Also: Isn't it a funny coincidence that not a single Russian guard got killed or injured? Or that there was no SAM response? Or that the Azovstal defenders were separated from other prisoners just a few days ago?
The only "evidence" that Russia presented for its claim that it was HIMARS, are fragments of M31 missiles on a nearby bench. They could have been collected from any of the multiple sites that were hit before. But unlike previous strikes,
all of which to my knowledge have some footage of the pieces
in situ, these fragments just show up on that blue bench. Not a single image or video clip of them inside the prison building. And there is just one video that I've seen with a serial number, all later video seem to have that part removed for some reason... maybe Russian fakers don't want the origin of the pieces actually being tracked down?
They are lying scam. Ukrainians did it. Russians had no reasons whatsoever to bomb their own prison. Criminal ukrainian regime murdered these prisioners to prevent their own troops from surrender. Everyone knows that.
Your press are filthy liars!
Russians had
every reason to kill them. Your own politicians in the Duma called for the Azovstal defenders to be killed. The Russian embassy in London said they should be hanged because they don't deserve a firing squad. Russia certainly doesn't want to return them because they'll be hailed as heroes in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, Zelensky is the one who ordered these guys to surrender instead of fight to the death.
