"Ukraine complies with its obligations to the world in the fight against global hunger. We thank our allies for fulfilling security guarantees in the Black Sea," the Ministry of Infrastructure emphasized.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on July 22 in Istanbul, at the suggestion of the United Nations, Ukraine, Turkey, and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres signed the Initiative on the safe transportation of grain and food products from the ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdennyi.
