Turkish Defense Minister: Over 5 million tons of grain exported from Ukraine

"Over 200 ships have delivered more than 5 million tons of grain from Ukrainian ports to other countries so far," Turkish Defense Minister, Hulusi Akar, said at a meeting with high-ranking officials.

The minister said that Turkiye is active in diplomacy regarding the food and energy crisis that emerged as a result of the war: "The "Grain Agreement" reached in Istanbul is one of the greatest successes of the UN in recent years."

Akar noted that through the Joint Coordination Center, which started functioning on July 27, grain in Ukrainian ports is safely delivered to other countries: "Turkiye, as a country that ensures security in the region and the world, has shown an effective and constructive position in the Ukrainian crisis from the first day."
