Ukraine Grain Export Resumes Through New Black Sea Route
Ukraine grain exports resume via a new Black Sea route after Russia withdrew from a UN-backed agreement. Two cargo ships, Resilient Africa and Aroyat, arrived at Chornomorsk port carrying 20,000 tonnes of wheat for Egypt and Israel. The corridor was established unilaterally by Kyiv. Russia warned civilian ships could be targeted. The UK accused Russia of launching missiles at a vessel in Odesa. The invasion in 2022 had blockaded Ukrainian ports, trapping 20 million tonnes of grain, causing global food price spikes and shortages in Middle Eastern and African nations.
