Three ships have left Chornomorsk and two from Pivdenni, Turkey's Defence Ministry confirmed, Reuters writes.
One of the ships that left on Tuesday was “Banks Commander”, carrying the first shipment of humanitarian food aid from Ukraine to Africa since Russia's invasion.
Moscow and Kiev reached agreement last month on the return of exports. The agreement was reached under the mediation of Turkey and the UN.
The agreement requires that an international team, comprised of officials from Turkey, the UN, Russia and Ukraine, oversee inspections and passing ships through the Bosphorus.
Ukraine hopes to increase its maritime exports to over 3 million tonnes of grain and other agricultural products in the coming months.
