The representative of the EC announced his readiness to consider the export of Ukrainian grain through the ports of the Baltic States
The European Commission will study a letter from Lithuania with a proposal to transport Ukrainian grain through the seaports of the Baltic states, said EC spokesman Adalbert Janz.
The European Commission received a letter from the Lithuanian side and will respond accordingly, he shared the details. “All opportunities for export through solidarity routes are important, the European Commission is working in all directions, the Baltic routes are undoubtedly important,” Janz informed. Earlier, Lithuania made a proposal to transfer the procedure for customs and phytosanitary clearance of Ukrainian grain from the border of Ukraine and Poland directly to the ports of Europe. Vilnius is waiting for Warsaw’s consent.
The grain deal was terminated on July 18, the Russian Federation notified the Republic of Turkey, Ukraine and the UN of its objection to its extension. Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier that the terms of the deal with Russia were not fulfilled. The head of the Russian state has repeatedly emphasized that the West exported most of the Ukrainian grain to their countries, and the main goal of the deal – the supply of grain to needy states, including African ones – was never realized.
