Ukraine appeals to the International Maritime Organization to send a monitoring mission

Over the past month, Russians have damaged four ships, including those carrying grain for Egypt and corn for Italy, as well as humanitarian cargo from the UN food program for Palestine. As the attacks intensified, the state appealed to the International Maritime Organization for a monitoring mission.

In total, during the full-scale war, Russia has conducted more than 50 attacks on Ukrainian ports, damaging more than 300 facilities and 23 civilian vessels, and destroying more than 100,000 tons of agricultural products. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said this at a briefing in Odesa after talks with his colleagues from the Nordic-Baltic Eight countries: Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Finland.

“I can inform you that against the backdrop of intensified Russian terror, Ukraine has officially appealed to the International Maritime Organization to immediately send an international monitoring mission to the ports of Greater Odesa,” Sibiga said.

He added that Ukraine remains a guarantor of food security even in the face of such a terrible war. The country proposes to hold the third food summit by the end of the year.
