Two ships with 15,000 tons of grain leave Ukraine for export

The Thoe, like the Fulmar S, sailed from Chornomorsk, but in this case its destination is the port of Tekirdag, in northwestern Turkey, according to a statement released late yesterday by the Defense portfolio reproduced by the Europa Press news agency.

The ships cross the Black Sea to Turkey’s Bosphorus Strait and stop at the joint coordination center set up in Istanbul, where representatives from Ukraine, Russia, the UN and Turkey examine the cargo.

Likewise, this center is in charge of examining the ships that enter Ukraine to guarantee that they do not carry weapons or combat material to the war zone. The Russian and Ukrainian sides have pledged to suspend any attacks on ships or ports involved in these exports.

Staff from Turkey and the United Nations will be in Ukrainian ports to confirm security in the areas protected by the agreement. Some 20 million tons of Ukrainian grain have been stranded in ports since the Russian invasion on February 24.

Under the sealed agreement to stop the looming food crisis, the Istanbul coordination center was inaugurated on July 22 and on August 1, the first ship left the port of Odessa loaded with 26,000 tons of corn. Russia and Ukraine are the main suppliers of cereals in the world, and Moscow is also a large exporter of fertilizersso the blockade of exports triggered the price of food throughout the world.
