The ministry said in a statement that the four ships set off today within the framework of the Istanbul agreement for the shipment of grain.
Last July 22, Istanbul witnessed the signing of the “Document on the Safe Shipping Initiative for Grain and Foodstuffs from Ukrainian Ports” between Turkey, Russia, Ukraine and the United Nations.
