Belgium, (Brussels Morning Newspaper) Ukraine grain exports continued on Friday, with three vessels leaving Ukrainian ports under the safe passage agreement brokered by Turkey and the UN.

The Turkish Ministry of Defence reminded that the first wartime shipment of grain from Ukraine left the Port of Odessa on Monday, according to Reuters reporting on Friday.

Oleksandr Kubrakov, Ukrainian Minister of Infrastructure, noted on Friday “we expect that the security guarantees of our partners from the UN and Turkey will continue to work, and food exports from our ports will become stable and predictable for all market participants.”

After the UN warned that disruption of grain exports could cause famines, the organisation and Turkey brokered a safe passage agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

Ukraine and Russia are among the largest exporters of grain, and Russia is the main fossil fuel supplier for Europe.

According to the Turkish Ministry of Defence, three grain ships left Ukraine on Friday carrying a total of roughly 58,000 tonnes of maize.

The Navistar, flying the flag of Panama, set sail from Odessa to Ireland with 33,000 tonnes of corn.

The Maltese-flagged Rojen left the Port of Chornomorsk for the UK with 13,000 tonnes of maize and the Polarnet flying the Turkish flag left the same port with 12,000 tonnes of maize and is heading for the Turkish Port of Karasu.

First arrival expected today

According to Odessa regional administration, the Liberian-flagged Osprey S is to arrive in the Port of Chornomorsk later today as the first wartime arrival at a Ukrainian port.

Taras Kachka, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Economy, called for expanding the safe passage agreement to other exports in an interview with the Financial Times. “This agreement is about logistics, about the movement of vessels through the Black Sea,” he noted.

On Thursday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg described the proxy war in Ukraine as the most dangerous conflict for Europe since WWII, stressing the importance of not allowing Russia to win.

Commenting on fears of some politicians that Moscow’s aggression could extend beyond Ukraine, Stoltenberg stressed “if [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin even thinks of doing something similar to a NATO country as he has done to Georgia, Moldova or Ukraine, then all of NATO will be involved immediately.”
