Russia-Ukraine conflict rages on its 578th day.
A first ship loaded with 3,000 tonnes of wheat, and also flying the flag of Palau, left Chornomorsk without incident on Tuesday and arrived in Istanbul on Thursday. / Photo: AFPA second shipment of Ukrainian wheat has reached Türkiye via the Black Sea, according to maritime traffic monitoring sites, despite Russian threats to attack boats heading to or from its neighbour and enemy.
The Palau-flagged bulk carrier Aroyat — laden with 17,600 tonnes of wheat — left the port city of Chornomorsk on Friday bound for Egypt. Ukraine is testing a new sea route that avoids using international waters and follows those controlled by NATO members Bulgaria and Romania, following Russia's withdrawal from a UN-backed grain export deal.
According to the websites Marine Traffic and Vessel Finder, the Aroyat was at the southern exit of the Bosphorus Strait at 0300 GMT on Sunday.For our live updates from Saturday , click
