Ukraine’s FM calls untied grain knot “whole world’s relief day”

On August 1, the first vessel with Ukrainian grain left the port of Odesa for the first time in more than 5 months.

“The day of relief for the world, especially for our friends in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, as the first Ukrainian grain leaves Odesa after months of Russian blockade. Ukraine has always been a reliable partner and will remain so if Russia keeps its part of the deal,” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba wrote on Twitter on August 1, RBC-Ukraine reports.
