Barbados-flagged bulk carrier Super Martinelli arrives at the sea port of Odesa after restarting grain export, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Ukraine May 21, 2023. In summer, Moscow quit a U.N.-brokered deal that had allowed exports of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea safely. Russia has attacked port facilities on both the Black Sea and Danube River. Kubrakov said 21 grain-loaded vessels have already used a new "humanitarian" grain corridor in the Black Sea that Kyiv established in August. He said that under the previous U.N. Black Sea Grain Initiative, Ukraine had exported 33 million tonnes of grain, with 60% of that shipped to African and Asian countries.
