During its operation, the Ukrainian sea corridor has transported 106 million tons of cargo, of which almost 70 million tons is grain.
This is stated in the report of the Ministry of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine.
“These are 4,000 vessels that delivered our agricultural products to the countries of Africa, Asia, and Europe,” said Oleksiy Kuleba, Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery and Minister of Community and Territorial Development.
The ministry also noted that on March 1, Russia launched a missile attack on the port infrastructure in Odesa. Two civilian port workers were injured in the attack.
The attack damaged two civilian vessels: the SUPER SARKAS, a Sierra Leonean-flagged bulk carrier loaded with more than 21,000 tons of corn and soybeans for export. The container ship MSC LEVANTE F flying the flag of Panama, owned by a leading European company, was also damaged. In total, this is the 29th civilian vessel to be damaged as a result of Russian attacks, the ministry said.
