KYIV—Ukraine claimed Russia had attacked its grain storage facilities overnight, but a container ship left the Black Sea port of Odesa on Aug. 16 despite Moscow’s threat to target shipping after it abandoned an export deal.

The Hong-Kong-flagged Joseph Schulte, trapped in the port since the war started on Feb. 24, 2022, departed from Odesa.
