Reuters. The first ships to export Ukraine grain from the country's Black Sea ports may move within a few days under a deal agreed on Friday by Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the United Nations, a U.N. spokesperson said on Monday.
A Joint Coordination Center will liaise with the shipping industry and will publish detailed procedures for ships in the near future, said deputy U.N. spokesperson Farhan Haq.
"All parties have reconfirmed their commitment to the initiative. The government of Turkey has generously provided a physical space for the Joint Coordination Center where operations are being established now," said Haq. "By tomorrow, all parties and the U.N. will have a presence in the Joint Coordination Center in Istanbul."
