The UK could send Navy warships to provide a safe passage for the export of grain from Odesa along with NATO allies, it is reported.
A Russian blockade of Black Sea ports could spark a global famine, putting millions of lives at risk as many tonnes of grain are waiting to be taken from Ukraine around the world.
Ukraine, one of the world's biggest grain producers, used to export most of its goods through its seaports, but since Russia sent troops into Ukraine, it has been forced to export by train or via its small Danube River ports.
