Turkey says five more grain ships leave Ukrainian ports

Five more ships carrying corn and wheat have departed Ukrainian ports—three from Chornomorsk and two from Pivdennyi, according to a U.N.-mediated grain export agreement.

It added that four more ships bound for Ukraine were to be inspected on Tuesday by the joint co-ordination centre, set up by Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Nations in Istanbul.

One of the ships leaving on Tuesday was the Brave Commander, carrying the first cargo of humanitarian food aid bound for Africa from Ukraine since Russia’s invasion, Refinitiv Eikon data showed.
