Guterres arrives to see Turkey ship inspections

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres arrived in Istanbul to monitor the inspections of a Ukrainian grain shipment on Saturday.

Guterres said on Friday that 25 ships have departed from Odesa and other Ukrainian ports since Russia and Ukraine signed a four-month grain export deal in July.

Those ships have carried over 600,000 tons of grain and other food supplies like wheat, corn, sunflower oil and soy beans, Guterres said.
