In addition, the ports are preparing to receive another six ships that follow the grain corridor.
"In the Bosphorus, 102 vessels are waiting for the inspection of the Joint Coordination Centre. The Russian side continues to slow down inspections under any pretext, limiting the export of Ukrainian agricultural products to world markets," the ministry said.
