Ukraine has exported 3.7 million grains since last July, when it reopened the Black Sea corridor, following an agreement with Russia to dispose of grain accumulated in ports since the start of the war.
According to sources from the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, reproduced by the Ukrinform portal, until this Sunday a total of 165 grain shipments left the ports authorized to carry out this transport.
The agreement to unblock the exports of cereals and other products was signed last July, separately, by Russia and Ukraine, under the auspices of the United Nations and Turkey, which supervise these transports.
Until the beginning of the Russian invasion, Ukraine, one of the largest cereal producers in the world, exported around six million tons of this food per month.
The transport blockade threatened to precipitate a global food crisis.
Along with the grain transported by sea, Ukraine managed to sell three million tons in August by land routes to the European Union (EU), mainly through Poland and Romania, destined for both the European bloc and third countries.
The military offensive launched on February 24 by Russia in Ukraine caused the flight of more than seven million people from the country and the internal displacement of many others, in what the UN describes as the worst refugee crisis in Europe since World War II. World.
The Russian invasion was condemned by the international community at large, which has responded by sending weapons to Ukraine and imposing unprecedented political and economic sanctions on Russia.
The UN presented as confirmed since the beginning of the war 5,827 civilian deaths and 8,421 wounded, stressing that these figures are far below the real ones.
