Description
As the first UN-chartered vessel, the "Brave Commander", is loaded with Ukrainian grain in the Black Sea port of Pivdennyi, near Odesa, World Food Programme deputy country director Marianne Ward says the organisation is "definitely planning other ships to leave the ports of Ukraine, to help people around the world". Ukrainian minister of Infrastructure Oleksandr Kubrakov says he hopes export volumes will return to pre-war levels in the coming months. SOUNDBITES
