“This morning another four ships departed from the Ukrainian ports of Odessa and Chornomorsk carrying sunflower seeds and sunflower oil,” TASS quoted the statement as saying.

On August 12, the SKC in Istanbul allowed two more ships with corn and wheat, carrying a total of 63,200 tons of grain, to leave Ukrainian ports.
