Ukraine: Final escalation?

It's no secret that NATO have been using the port in Odessa to transfer arms and equipment using "grain ships". Russia figured this out and obliterated everything NATO had there, including the port. Russia then warned that ANY inbound ship that attempts to dock in Odessa or anywhere else in Ukraine will be considered a target, because it is impossible to determine if the ship legitimately is hauling grain or weapons and ammo.

As a result of the obliteration of NATO's footprint in Odessa, Zelenski has called an emergency meeting with NATO. NATO will discuss getting directly involved by escorting inbound ships to Ukraine, and potentially firing on Russian vessels that intervene. I think the probability is high that NATO will agree to try to break the Russian blockade. This could be the flash point that sparks world war. Russia isn't bluffing, so I see the potential of some ships sinking in the very near future. No navy in the world (thus far) can counter Russia's hypersonic anti-ship missiles.

NATO supposedly also ordered Ukraine to withdraw from the front lines, assumed to reinforce defenses in western regions. Russia and Belarus very recently discussed imminent war with Poland.
