The assault on Odessa will probably happen by sea at a time when the Ukrainian army
is mired in Winter mud, IMO. And let's face it, the Ukraine's grain harvest this year
will likely be half of what it was last year so a demolition of the grain storage bins
will not be as costly as if the Ruskies had demolished them earlier this year
https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/07/20/russia-ukraine-war-odesa-black-sea/We have no details of the current grain shipments but you can bet
that both Russia & Turkey are getting their cuts. this, IMO, is why
negotiations took so long.
