UN aid chief Martin Griffiths said on Thursday he was hopeful that the first shipment of grain from a Ukrainian Black Sea port could take place as early as Friday, but “crucial” details for the safe passage of vessels were still being worked out.

“We don’t see any scale likely to happen … without our procedures being clear, understood by the commercial sector,” he later told a news conference. Russia and Ukraine are major global wheat suppliers, and Moscow’s February 24 invasion of its neighbour sent food prices soaring, stoking a global food crisis the World Food Programme says has pushed some 47 million people into “acute hunger.”

A UN spokesperson at the center said those checks would likely occur at an anchorage north of the Bosphorus.
