Faced with the Russian naval blockade, Ukraine has established grain export channels through Poland and Romania, and also are negotiating with the Baltic states, stated Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Senik. Through Poland, Ukrainian grain is exported by rail, but due to the difference in track width at the border, it is transported to other warehouses that lack critical infrastructure. Through Romania, Ukraine first transports grain by rail to Danube ports, then transports it on barges, and then it goes to the port of Constanta, which is expensive and time consuming. “These corridors are not ideal, as they lead to unavoidable logistical delays, but we are doing everything possible to develop these paths now,” Senik explained.
