The United Nations World Food Program has charted mv Brave Commander to transport 23,000 metric tons of wheat from the Ukrainian port of Pivdennyi to supply Ethiopia.  This is the first humanitarian food-aid cargo paid for with donations through the United Nations World Food Program and the U.S. Agency for International Development with contributions from private donors.  To place this shipment in perspective, the World Food Program purchased 800,000 metric tons of grains from Ukraine in 2021.
