President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky published a post in his official Telegram channel in which he informs about the order for Zaluzhny.
Zelensky writes that he instructed the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to prepare an action plan to continue the operation of the grain corridor.
The Ukrainian leader reports that work continues to organize the protection of ships and ports that are involved in grain transportation.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine was tasked with establishing appropriate diplomatic relations.
Vladimir Zelensky also reports that he heard reports from high-ranking military personnel.
On July 17, Russia conveyed a message to Turkey, Ukraine and the UN opposing the continuation of the grain deal.
