Ukraine Exports 34 Million Tons of Goods via Black Sea Corridor

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov announced on Friday that "approximately 34 million tons of goods have been exported through the Ukrainian transport corridor in the Black Sea since it began operations in August." Kubrakov noted on the X platform: "1,140 ships have passed through the Ukrainian corridor, exporting 33.8 million tons of goods to 40 countries around the world, including 23.1 million tons of Ukrainian agricultural products." He added that "the amount of goods has already exceeded those exported under the previous grain initiative." Ukraine launched the corridor after Russia withdrew from a UN-mediated agreement in July and threatened to consider all ships as potential military targets. Most Ukrainian exports via the sea consist of grains, vegetable oils, iron ore, and mineral products.
