Ukrainian grain began to be exported through the ports of Croatia, said Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yulia Sviridenko, her words led press service of the Ministry of Economy of the country.
“We believe that this logistical route [из хорватских портов] will play an important role in bilateral trade between our countries,” Sviridenko said following the meeting with Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic.
Kyiv is looking for alternative supply routes for its grain after the termination of the grain deal. On July 17, Russia left the Black Sea Initiative, which was signed on July 22, 2022 by representatives of Turkey, the UN, Russia and Ukraine. The Kremlin explained this by the failure to fulfill the second part of the agreement, which concerns, among other things, the lifting of restrictions on the supply of Russian products.
After that, the Russian Ministry of Defense declared all ships going to the ports of Ukraine as potential military targets. The agency regularly reports attacks on port infrastructure, which, according to the ministry, is used in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In addition, in May, the EU banned the import of wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower from Ukraine to Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Romania. The decision was made after complaints from farmers in Eastern European countries.
