The first export of wheat from Ukraine since the invasion of Russia in February has arrived in Djibouti, east Africa.

The 23,000-ton shipment is bound for Ethiopia which is struggling with ongoing drought and conflict.

A recent agreement between Russia and Ukraine, mediated by the UN and Turkey, has allowed 50 ships to resume shopping grain around the world.
