> Russia appears to be letting **some ships carrying grains exit the Azov Sea,** the first signs of activity since shipping in the waterway linked to the Black Sea was suspended following the attack on Ukraine.
> 
> Around **30 vessels** have been allowed to leave Russian ports and sail out of the waterway straddled by Russia and Ukraine, Interfax reported. Saban Buttanri, owner of Istanbul-based Agrolino Grains and Oilseeds, says **he’s also aware of ships carrying sunflower oils, grains and feeds sailing out of the Azov Sea toward Turkey, including three of his vessels carrying sunflower oil.**
> 
> ***“This is great news as this is the first time we can see vessels leaving Russia,”*** Buttanri said Wednesday in an interview. “We hope for a breakthrough and a deal.”
> 
> The Ukraine war has thrown the world’s wheat and vegetable oil supplies into chaos as vessel traffic came to a halt after Russia’s invasion began on Feb. 24. The two countries supply more than a quarter of world’s wheat exports, a fifth of corn sales and a similar share of barley shipments, plus about 80% of sunflower oil cargoes.

**Suggestive that the seas are under enough control for safe shipping to take place?**
