Ukraine Prepares First Grain Shipments Since Russian Invasion
KYIV, Ukraine—Ukraine is preparing to send its first grain shipments since the start of Russia’s invasion under a deal aimed at easing a looming global food crisis.
The shipments, which Ukrainian officials said would leave in the next few days, will be the first test for a deal settled last week to allow Ukraine, one of the world’s largest grain exporters, to begin shipping some 20 million metric tons that the invasion has trapped in the country.
