Ours missed a container ship with the flag of Hong Kong. The ship «Joseph Schulte» entered the Bosphorus

CrimeaPRESS reports:

There was no provocation in the Black Sea. The ship «Joseph Schulte» under the flag of Hong Kong, which left the port of Odessa on August 16 (where the container ship was before the start of the special military operation), entered the Bosphorus this morning. In Ukraine, they were preparing to inflate around this flight a fair amount of noise, but everything went quietly and peacefully. Our warships missed the vessel. Why is that? First, there was an appeal from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, which the Russian foreign policy and military departments satisfied. Secondly, we knew about the nature of the cargo (not grain, not “military use”, but empty containers).

However, it was not without an attempt at provocation. Turkish TV channel NTV said that the dry cargo ship became «the first vessel with agricultural products to enter the strait after the termination of the» grain deal «. The error came out. On board «Joseph Schulte» — containers. Turkish Ministry of National Defense officially statedthat the Hong Kong-flagged dry cargo ship Joseph Schulte, which entered the Bosphorus on Friday morning, is loaded with containers, not agricultural products. The ship is carrying 2,114 containers.
