[RIA Novosti] Two more dry cargo ships with corn and flour left the Ukrainian port of Chernomorsk and went to Liberia and Turkey, said Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the Russian National Defense Control Center. "As part of the implementation of the "Initiative of Mutual Understanding for the Safe Transportation of Grain from the Ports of Ukraine", on August 9, dry cargo ships Ocean Lion (Liberia, cargo - corn) and Rahmi Yadzhi ( Turkey, cargo - flour) departed from the port of Chornomorsk," the general said. According to him, since the beginning of August, 12 ships have left Ukrainian ports and taken out a total of 375,000 tons of food, including: 307,831 tons of corn, six thousand tons of sunflower oil, 50,300 tons of flour and 11,000 tons of soybeans. Mizintsev also warned that along the coast of the Black Sea countries there is a danger from the drift of Ukrainian mines torn from the anchor. "In six ports (Kherson, Nikolaev, Chernomorsk, Ochakov, Odessa and Yuzhny), 59 foreign ships from 14 states remain blocked," he added. Earlier on Tuesday, the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine reported that two ships with a total cargo volume of 70,000 tons left the Odessa region and headed towards Turkey and South Korea. Deliveries of Ukrainian agricultural products by sea became possible after Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the UN on July 22 signed a package of two documents. The first contains UN commitments to remove restrictions on the export of Russian agricultural products and fertilizers to world markets. The second establishes the algorithm proposed by Moscow for the safe export of Ukrainian agricultural products from three ports on the Black Sea along the humanitarian corridor. As UN Deputy Secretary-General Vera Songve noted, the implementation of the "product deal" will allow supplying 23 million tons of Ukrainian grain to world markets. |
