Seventy-six ships are waiting in line to enter three Ukrainian ports, and the day before, three ships left with Ukrainian grain for countries in need of food aid.
Odesa governor's office spokesman Serhii Bratchuk reported this in a comment to Radio Svoboda.
The official said three ships left Ukrainian ports on Monday, November 21.
"They transport 90,428 tons of grain and other food as part of the Black Sea Grain Initiative," Bratchuk said.
The spokesman added that three dry cargoes passed through the humanitarian corridor on Monday and are heading to Ukrainian ports.
"76 ships are awaiting permission to enter the ports of Ukraine, and 33 loaded dry cargoes are being prepared for inspection in Turkish territorial waters to proceed to their destinations," Bratchuk summarized.
We will remind you that within the "grain initiative," eight ships loaded with 342 thousand tons of agricultural products for the countries of Africa, Asia, and Europe left the ports of Great Odesa in two days.
As Rubryka reported, Istanbul agreed to extend the "grain corridor" work to export food from three Ukrainian seaports for another 120 days.
