Antnio Guterres, Secretary-General of the UN, called the deal a “beacon of hope, possibility & relief,” in a tweet on Friday.
The agreement aims to allow the passage of grains and essential goods from three Ukrainian ports and the passage of essential Russian-made fertilizer products to ease the global food crisis brought on by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, The Guardian reported.
At the signing, Guterres said the deal would benefit developing countries “on the edge of bankruptcy and the most vulnerable people on the edge of famine,” The Guardian reported.
