Today, for the first time since February 24, a vessel loaded with Ukrainian provisions has left the port of Odesa. This was reported by the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov on his Facebook page, reports “ProAgro Group”.
According to him, it is about the ship RAZONI, which under the flag of Sierra Leone is heading to the port of Tripoli in Lebanon.
“Today Ukraine together with its partners is making another step to prevent world hunger. Unlocking the ports will provide at least $1 billion in foreign exchange earnings for the economy and the opportunity for the agricultural sector to plan next year’s sowing season,” Kubrakov wrote.
The Minister of Infrastructure thanked the partners who, despite the difficulties, did not stop the work to prepare for export. Together with representatives of the United Nations and Turkey the internal operational regulations have already been worked out. For its part, Ukraine has done everything to resume the work of ports and all involved enterprises.
Kubrakov announced that 16 more vessels are already waiting for their turn in the ports of Odesa. These are the vessels that have been blocked since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. At the same time, there are requests for new ships to be loaded with agricultural products.
