The Black Sea grain corridor ground to a halt on Tuesday after no ship inspections were conducted under the safe-passage deal that allows Ukraine to export its crops from three key ports, although activity is now expected to resume on Wednesday.
The Joint Coordination Centre in Istanbul didn’t conduct inspections as the parties involved “needed more time to reach an agreement on operational priorities,” the United Nations said in a statement. Inspections are expected to restart tomorrow after “intensive discussions,” it said.
