Four more ships carrying grain and sunflower oil have left Ukraine ports via a safe maritime corridor.
Millions of tonnes of grain have been stuck in Ukraine’s port due to Russian blockades. This leads shortages and higher food prices in other countries. But last week the first ship left Ukraine's ports since February.
The latest ships to set sail are bound for Turkey. Where they wll be inspected as part of a deal reached with Russia and the United Nations.
Four ship left on Sunday from the ports of Odesa and Chornomorsk, Ukraine and will all travel through the Bosphorus strait.
After the inspections, two are then scheduled to dock in Turkey, while the other two are headed for Italy and China. Another empty ship has been authorized to travel to Ukraine for loading.
Under a deal brokered by Turkey and the UN last month, Russia agreed not to target ships which were in transit, while Ukraine said it would guide vessels through mined waters.
