A ship loaded with corn will thread through a safe corridor, headed to Istanbul.
A ship loaded with grain left a port in Odesa for the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine following an international deal that could ease global food prices and bring relief to countries facing hunger by allowing Ukraine to restart grain shipments in the Black Sea.
The ship was led by a government vessel through a maze of mines that had been laid by Ukrainian forces to forestall any attempt by Moscow to launch an assault on Odesa. A rescue ship followed, and Russia’s Navy granted safe passage.
