The grain will be brought to Croatia via the Danube River and then transported by rail to the Adriatic coast, the ministry said. How much grain will be exported in this way, the ministry did not reveal.
Using this transportation system, Ukraine wants to bypass the Russian blockade on the Black Sea.
It has already been reported that on July 17, Russia withdrew from the international “grain deal”, which guaranteed a safe passage in the Black Sea for ships with cargoes of Ukrainian grain. This agreement was reached last summer through Turkey and the UN.
Ukraine is trying to increase exports by land through the European Union (EU), but several neighboring countries, such as Poland, oppose this solution. Many farmers in the EU are concerned about the drop in grain prices if Ukrainian grain enters the European market.
