As of 9 November, six vessels loaded with 231,000 tonnes of agricultural products left the ports of Greater Odesa and are moving in the direction of the Bosphorus.
Five other vessels are waiting to enter the ports for loading.
“Traffic along the corridor did not stop despite Russia’s systematic attacks on the port infrastructure,” the ministry stressed.
It is noted that since 8 August 2023, 91 vessels have exported 3.3 million tonnes of agro and metal products, and 116 vessels have entered the ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi for loading.
“The Defenсe Forces are doing everything possible to counter the aggressor country’s attacks on the port infrastructure. The world has already realised that there is no international law for the aggressor country, and we are grateful to our partners for their support with air defence,” the report says.
