Kyiv: On Monday, the first ship to carry Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea left the port of Odesa for Lebanon. The sailing was made possible after Turkey and the United Nations brokered a grain-and-fertiliser export agreement between Russia and Ukraine. The Sierra Leone-flagged ship Razoni will head to the port of Tripoli, Lebanon, after transiting the Bosphorus Strait linking the Black Sea.
