A bulk carrier has left Ukraine's Odesa port, deputy prime minister Oleksandr Kubrakov has said.
Mr Kubrakov said the Puma carrier, which entered the port on 19 February 2022 and had been unable to depart since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine days later, left Odesa with 14,000 tonnes of rapeseed and 16,000 tonnes of metal.
It is the fifth to sail since Russia withdrew from a safe-passage deal for grain ships.
The Puma is the fifth vessel to leave the port of Odesa since Moscow withdrew from the UN-brokered Black Sea grain export deal in July and threatened to treat all vessels as potential military targets.
In response, Ukraine announced a "humanitarian corridor" hugging the western Black Sea coast near Romania and Bulgaria.
