A ship loaded with grain left the Ukrainian port city of Odesa on Monday. It was the first grain shipment to leave Ukraine since the war with Russia cut off exports. It is headed to the Middle Eastern nation of Lebanon. The ship, called the Razoni, has 26,000 tons of corn. Ukraine is one of the world’s largest grain producers. But its ports have been closed for over five months because of the war with Russia. The lack of corn and other grains started a worldwide food crisis. Many nations that do not produce enough depend on important supplies of wheat, barley, corn and sunflower oil from Ukraine. Food shipments restarted after Ukraine and Russia signed agreements with Turkey and the United Nations on July 22. The goal is that 22 million tons of food staples will start to leave Ukrainian ports. Russia will also be permitted to export grain and fertilizer. Ukraine’s minister of infrastructure, Oleksander Kubrakov, announced the ship’s movement on the social media service Twitter. He said: “The first ship since Russian aggression has left port.” He said starting shipments is “another step to prevent world hunger.”
