The first ship carrying grain under a UN-brokered export deal left the Ukrainian port of Odesa -- raising hopes that a global food supply crisis caused by Russia’s invasion can be eased.
The M/V Razoni became the first commercial vessel to leave the crucial Black Sea port since February 26, two days after Russia launched its assault on Ukraine. It is bound for the port of Tripoli, Lebanon, and is carrying a cargo of around 26,500 metric tonnes of corn, the United Nations said.The journey comes after a breakthrough agreement, brokered by the UN and Turkey and signed by representatives from Russia and Ukraine in July, which facilitates the resumption of vital grain exports.
"This is such an important step but it is a first step," the British ambassador to Kyiv, Melinda Simmons, tweeted on Monday."[Russia] now needs to honour their side of this deal and let grain ships pass safely. And they need to stop burning and appropriating [Ukrainian] grain.
