Since Ukraine launched the temporary maritime corridor in the Black Sea, 515 vessels have left Ukrainian ports through the corridor.
United States Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink announced this in a statement, the CFTS portal reports.
According to the statement, the ships carried 16.5 million tons of grain and cargo to global markets.
"As of today, 515 ships have traveled safely through the Black Sea Humanitarian Corridor, carrying 16.5 million tons of grain and cargo to global markets. This is a major accomplishment, helping workers and businesses and enabling Ukraine’s economy to grow despite Russia’s horrific war," Brink said.
As reported previously, about 13 million tons of products were exported to 24 countries via Ukraine's temporary maritime corridor from August to the end of December last year.
