Six more ships leave Ukrainian ports under grain deal

Six vessels carrying Ukrainian agricultural products left Ukraine's Black Sea ports early on August 28 under a UN-brokered grain deal.

According to Ukrinform, Turkey's Ministry of Defense said this on its Twitter account.

"As of this morning, six more ships have departed from Ukrainian ports with grain loads," the statement said.

It added that work was underway to load ships with grain in Ukrainian ports under the control of the Joint Coordination Center.

In total, 51 ships with Ukrainian agricultural products have left the Black Sea ports of the Odesa region since the sea blockade was lifted on August 1.
