UKRAINE IS SET FOR ITS FIRST GRAIN SHIPMENT TO RUSSIA

  • 29/07/2022

According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, the first grain ship from Ukraine since Russia's invasion is prepared and waiting for the signal to depart port.

A week after a UN-led deal to resume exports, the speaker was speaking during a visit to the Chornomorsk port.

Food shortages and price increases are a result of the blockade of Ukrainian ports.

Although noteworthy, the first departure from Ukrainian territory will serve more as a scouting expedition than as a means of reopening a crucial supply channel.

President Zelensky stood alongside ambassadors from the G7 industrialised nations in front of the Turkish-registered ship Polarnet on the Black Sea coast in anticipation of an upcoming departure.
