Three freighters with cereals left Ukrainian waters on Tuesday to go to Istanbul (Turkey) through the humanitarian corridor opened in the Black Sea, within the framework of the agreement on cereal exports. An agreement that Russia decided to suspend unilaterally last Saturday. The three ships with grain have left this Tuesday as reported from Istanbul by the Joint Coordination Center (JCC). “The United Nations secretariat at the JCC reports that today, three ships are transiting the humanitarian corridor heading out (from Ukraine),” the delegation’s spokeswoman, Ismini Palla, said in a message. “Navigation has been agreed between the delegations of Ukraine, Turkey and the United Nations at the JCC. Russia has been informed,” the message states. Ankara and kyiv have reached an agreement mediated by the United Nations, for which 12 ships will leave Ukrainian ports with cereals on board, while another four will go to Ukraine. Almost 700,000 tons of grain blocked by MoscowCurrently there are 18 ships waiting for the go-ahead to transport some 700,000 tons of grain from Ukraine, a country known as “the breadbasket of Europe”. There are many states, such as Egypt, that depend on Ukrainian grain and have seen wheat prices skyrocket as they cannot import it from Ukraine. What has generated a food crisis in some countries in the area. There was an agreement between Ukraine, Turkey and Russia with the mediation of the United Nations to allow grain shipments to pass through the Black Sea. But Moscow unilaterally decided to suspend the pact last Saturday. The Kremlin accused the Zelensky regime of carrying out a series of drone strikes against its fleet in the Black Sea.
