First ship to use Ukraine's corridor enters Bosphorus

The first vessel that used Ukraine's Black Sea corridor crossed through Turkey's Bosphorus Strait, Reuters footage showed on Friday (August 18). The Hong-Kong-flagged Joseph Schulte container ship that left the Russian-blocked Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa earlier this week had been in the port since February 23, 2022, the day before the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
