Ukraine’s Zelenskyy visits Black Sea ports as first grain shipments set to sail

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday his country was ready to start grain shipments from the Black Sea ports and was awaiting a signal from the United Nations and Turkey to start the shipments. Zelenskyy's office said the president had visited the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk, which has been blockaded by Russia, to oversee preparations for the shipments under a U.N.-brokered agreement signed in Turkey last week.
