Three More Grain Ships Leave Ukrainian Ports Under Deal, Despite Russian Suspension
This may not be such a good thing. Russia is going to have to start backing up its threats soon. If not this one, then which one? The nuclear one?Another Ukrainian-Turkish-UN convoy of grain ships left Odesa this morning, breaking through Russia’s naval blockade of Ukraine for a second day in a row. Again, the Russian Black Sea Fleet is nowhere to be seen. Erdogan has called Putin’s bluff.
Last choppers out of Saigon. Unlikely to be harassed by Russia. Nothing's sailing in, and the UN has just announced that they are indeed suspending shipments.This may not be such a good thing.

I wonder why.the UN has just announced that they are indeed suspending shipments.
Putin won't dare to offend Erdogan directly, he knows Turkey is the only thing stopping an additional 1000km+ front opening up in the event of a conventional conflict occurring with NATO.Another Ukrainian-Turkish-UN convoy of grain ships left Odesa this morning, breaking through Russia’s naval blockade of Ukraine for a second day in a row.

Problem might could be Lloyds. Might take a bit to get that worked out. It probably going to require a sovereign indemnification. Also I imagine that all the ship s owners that are in UA ports want them “out” and the ones that are “out” are not gonna want “in”.I wonder why.
In the articleI wonder why.
Cargo has been on board to long and they had fumigated for pest it seems.but the process was suspended due to issues related to fumigated cargo.
That was my thought. BUT great excuse for a cooling off period.In the article

This could just be a hick up or indicative of a greater problem with the grain quality.
It could or it could just as easily be the straw that breaks the back of Putin’s support.This may not be such a good thing. Russia is going to have to start backing up its threats soon. If not this one, then which one? The nuclear one?
Oh you do not mess around with agricultural food inspectors. They will shut you down and make life hell for the shipper for a long while.That was my thought. BUT great excuse for a cooling off period.
