Seven ships arrived at the ports of Greater Odesa on 7 November to be loaded with 131,000 tons of agricultural products under the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which established a humanitarian maritime corridor to allow ships to export grain and other foodstuffs from Ukraine.

Ukraine’s Minister of Infrastructure Oleksandr Kubrakov announced this on Twitter, the CFTS portal reports.

He added that seven more ships would arrive at the ports on Tuesday, 8 November, to be loaded with 140,000 tons of grain.

"Finally, inbound traffic has been unblocked. This is good news for the countries that are waiting for Ukrainian grain," Kubrakov said.
