Dorcha Lee: Resumed missile strikes on Odesa will not stop Istanbul grain export agreement

Ceasefire clause expressly states the ceasefire only comes into effect during the periods when cargo ships are moving the grain or returning to collect more grain

The Russians started firing Kalibr missiles again into Odesa, within 24 hours of signing the Istanbul Agreement on grain exports, and it has been claimed this threatens to jeopardise the agreement. 

They are not paying attention to the ceasefire clause, which expressly states  the ceasefire only comes into effect during the periods when the cargo ships are moving the grain or returning to collect more grain.
