Talks between Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the United Nations held in Istanbul resulted in the parties agreeing to form a joint coordination center under the auspices of the UN.
According to CNN, the head of the office of the president of Ukraine, Andriz Yermak, emphasized that this will ensure Ukrainian wheat exports through the Black Sea.
The center will be located in Istanbul and the task will be to carry out the overall monitoring and coordination of safe navigation in the Black Sea.
More than 20 million tons of grain remained stranded in Ukraine due to the Russian blockade of Black Sea ports.
Before the war, wheat supplies from Russia and Ukraine accounted for almost 30% of global trade, and Ukraine is the world’s fourth largest exporter of corn and fifth largest exporter of wheat.
About 80% of Ukraine’s grain exports were shipped from the country’s Black Sea ports before the Russian invasion.
With these roads blocked, Ukraine hopes to speed up grain exports through reopened Danube river routes, made possible after Ukrainian troops retook Snake Island in June.
