He made known, that, “In just over a year of operation of our maritime export corridor, 70 million tons of cargo have already been transported”, adding, “more than 2,500 ships have departed from Ukrainian ports”.
Zelenskyy’s announcement is coming just few days following Russian missile strikes in the Ukrainian cities of Poltava, where “40 people were killed” and Lviv, where “7 people were killed including a 14-year old girl”.
According to Zelenskyy: “Despite the war and Russian terror, Ukraine continues to be a contributor to global food security for dozens of countries, and we are increasing our capabilities.
In just over a year of operation of our maritime export corridor, 70 million tons of cargo have already been transported. More than 2,500 ships have departed from Ukrainian ports. Ports in Asia, Africa, Europe, and America are receiving our Ukrainian cargo. Countries from Egypt to Indonesia, from Tunisia and Libya to India, from Algeria to China have received our Ukrainian grain.
Thanks to the humanitarian initiative “Grain from Ukraine,” hundreds of thousands of families and millions of people in Ethiopia, Somalia, Yemen, and Sudan have received essential food supplies.
I thank everyone working to enhance our export potential, and I am grateful to all those around the world who are helping. This undoubtedly strengthens peace.”
