Shipment departs from Ukraine with 26 thousand tons of maize, Russia will not attack it.

A good news has come for the world troubled by the food crisis, between the war between Russia and Ukraine. On Monday, a large shipment carrying 26 thousand tonnes of maize departed from Ukraine's Odessa Port. It will reach Istanbul Port in Turkey on Tuesday. It will be investigated there, after which it will be sent to Africa.

The war between Russia and Ukraine started on 24 February. Since then Ukraine has stopped food exports, because Russia was attacking its ports. Recently, after the intervention of Turkey, there was a Green Pact between Russia and Ukraine. Under this, food export was agreed to stop the growing food crisis in the world.

UN also intervened

UN and Turkey have jointly made this green pact between Russia and Ukraine. Both Russia and Ukraine play an important role in food supply to many countries of the world including Africa. This is the reason why many poor countries of Africa were at risk of starvation. Russia was targeting Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea. Because of this, the grain of Ukraine was not being exported from there.

According to media reports, after investigation in Turkey, this shipment from Ukraine will be sent to Lebanon. Africa will also get some part of it. Russia has promised in the agreement that it will not attack any food shipments.

The world will get great relief.

A Ukrainian official said: "We are the fourth largest corn exporter in the world. It is very important to decide the path of food security from food crisis. Ukraine understands its responsibility. Turkish Defence Minister Hulusai Akar said officials from Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the UN will be present in Istanbul. The shipment will be checked in front of them. After that, it will be allowed to go further.

"If we had not made such an attempt, the world would have been starving after 150 years. Now it should be tried that somehow this war is also over. There should be no place for war in this century.
