For the first time since the end of the grain agreement with Russia, two cargo ships are heading to Ukraine to transport grain.
In particular, Ukraine announced today that two cargo ships are currently sailing in the Black Sea heading for its ports, for the first time since the end of the grain agreement with Russia in July, which from the summer of 2022 allowed the Ukrainian food exports despite the Russian invasion.
“The first civilian ships are heading to Ukrainian ports through the temporary corridor,” Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov announced on Facebook.
“The trucks ‘Resilient Africa’ and ‘Aroyat’ have confirmed that they are ready to head to the port of Chornomorsk to load almost 20,000 tons of wheat bound for Africa and Asia,” he added in his statement.
According to the information he disclosed, the two trucks “carry the Palau flag and their crews are made up of citizens of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ukraine.”
These are the first ships to head to Ukrainian ports since mid-July, despite repeated threats by Moscow to target the ships.
