Two cargo ships have arrived in Ukraine's Chornomorsk port using a temporary Black Sea corridor established by Kyiv after Russia's withdrawal from a grain export agreement. The Palau-flagged vessels, Aroyat and Resilient Africa, are the first civilian cargo ships to reach the Odesa ports since Russia exited the deal. The ships will deliver 20,000 tons of wheat to Africa and Asia.
