The Kremlin on Monday said that news of the first ship carrying grain to leave Ukraine's port of Odesa under a deal brokered by Türkiye was "very positive".

The Sierra Leone-flagged Razoni left Odesa today with a cargo of corn, bound for Beirut, Lebanon.

Odesa, along with other Ukrainian Black Sea ports, had been blockaded since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.
