The Ukrainian corridor has already been used by 1286 ships that have exported 25 million tons of agricultural products to Asia, Africa and Europe.

This was announced on Facebook by Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine, Minister of Community Development, Territories and Infrastructure.

He noted that 135 vessels are currently waiting to enter the ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi, with 4 million tons of cargo to be exported.
