Ukrainian grain is loaded onto the Lebanese-flagged "Brave Commander" bulk carrier in the Black Sea port of Pivdennyi, near Odesa. Destined for Ethiopia, the shipment has been specially chartered by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) to tackle food shortages in Africa caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. IMAGES

The Malta-flagged Rojen, headed for the UK, arrives for inspection in the Bosphorus strait of Istanbul. The cargo ship carrying 13,000 tons of grain departed from the Chornomorsk port in Odessa, Ukraine last week, and is now expected to move on to the port of Derince in northwest Turkey. The Rojen is one of the first grain ships to depart from Ukraine since UN, Ukrainian, Russian and Turkish representatives brokered an agreement in July promising the safe transportation of grain from Ukraine's ports. Millions of tons of grain remain in the ports due to the naval blockade that followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine. IMAGES
The first shipment of grain exported by Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion on 24 February waits for inspection off the coast of Turkey. The ship sailed through a specially cleared corridor in the mine-infested waters of the Black Sea, which had been under a Russian blockade. The ship is to be inspected by a team that includes Russian and Ukrainian officials, in accordance with Russia's wish to ascertain the nature of the cargo. IMAGES
