The United Nations said vessels loaded with grain are expected to move through Ukraine’s crop-export corridor on Thursday. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on the world to press Russia to allow operations of the Black Sea passage from Ukrainian ports.

The UN had earlier called a halt to grain ships moving through the corridor after Russia warned that vessels weren’t safe using the route.
