Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK, Valeriy Zaluzhny, held his first meeting with incumbent Secretary General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Arsenio Dominguez.

"We discussed the safety of grain corridors, Ukrainian port infrastructure and shipping in the Black and Azov Seas, which is blocked by the Russian Federation. He noted that the theft of Ukrainian grain committed by the enemy should be stopped and punished in accordance with international law," Zaluzhny wrote on his Telegram channel.

The Ambassador thanked the International Maritime Organization for the support of Ukraine and Ukrainian sailors affected by Russian aggression.

"Ukraine will continue to be the breadbasket of Europe and the whole free world," Zaluzhny added.
