“Grain Deal” Can Continue Without Russia but Security Issues May Arise – Ukrainian Ambassador to Türkiye

1. If an allied merchant vessel docked in Odesa to load grain and were attacked on the way out by Russian shells, would that be an attack against a NATO member and trigger a NATO response?

   Edit: spelling Odesa. Force of habit ;(

2. Everyone should just give russia the middle finger. Why do the russians think they should have a say **AT ALL** in whether Ukraine can or cannot export Ukrainian grains from Ukrainian terroritories to any country outside russia, using ships and routes that do not belong to russia?

3. Just get the ships to Bulgarian waters and they’re safe.
   Even though a hit on a civilian vessel would not be a good idea as that will escalate things.
   I say go for it 💪🫡
