The captain: “I’m not brave – I’m just doing my job”

The Ukrainian offensive in the Black Sea has allowed a first grain ship to venture south from Odessa, loaded with wheat bound for Africa.

The Ukrainian grain has instead been transported on the Danube with the help of Romanian crew. See when SVT’s team got to join the barge.

The crew who welcome SVT’s team on board have been sailing on the Danube for a long time – but they never thought they would have to work in a war zone.

The mission is so dangerous that some of the crew don’t even want to tell their families about it.
