ANKARA, Turkey: Three more ships filled with grain will sail from Ukraine on Friday (Saturday in Manila) under a UN-backed deal lifting Russia's blockade of the Black Sea, Turkey's defense minister said.

'It is planned that three ships will set sail tomorrow from Ukraine,' Anadolu state news agency quoted Defense Minister Hulusi Akar as saying, one day after the first ship passed Istanbul on its way to Lebanon.
