Three more grain ships are expected to leave Ukraine’s ports as the country tries to ramp up exports of food that have been blocked since the start of Russia’s invasion almost half a year earlier.

Bulk carriers Navi Star, Rojen and Polarnet are expected to depart from Ukraine early Friday, Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said on Twitter.
