According to the press service of the Ministry of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine, since its opening, the Ukrainian sea corridor has provided transportation of 106 million tons of cargo, of which almost 70 million tons were grain.
“These are 4,000 ships that delivered our agricultural products to countries in Africa, Asia and Europe,” said Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction, Minister of Community and Territorial Development Oleksiy Kuleba.
The ministry also recalled that on March 1, Russia launched a missile attack on the port infrastructure of Odessa. As a result of the attack, two port workers were injured.
The strike damaged two civilian vessels: the Sierra Leone-flagged bulk carrier SUPER SARKAS, which was carrying more than 21,000 tons of corn and soybeans for export, and the Panamanian-flagged container ship MSC LEVANTE F, owned by a leading European company. It is the 29th civilian vessel to be damaged by Russian attacks, the ministry added.
