Greece is ready to provide ships to help export grain from Ukraine. This was announced by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, reports Sky News.

"Greece has announced that they are ready to provide ships to export grain from Ukraine," Stoltenberg said at the NATO summit in Madrid.

Meanwhile, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said his country "has a special role to play in this effort because it controls the world's largest merchant fleet."

"Greece again offers help and support for any efforts made under the auspices of the United Nations to ensure that the grain that is now in Ukraine, primarily in Odessa, gets to the countries that need it today," he said.
