“We are talking about Romania and Bulgaria,” said Ambassador of Ukraine to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar on the air during a telethon. He explained that the main problem is Russia’s threats to attack port infrastructure and possibly ships carrying grain.
“This is a risk that affects insurance and shipping companies. Likely, the occupiers will not implement everything they say, but the threat remains,” the ambassador emphasized. At the same time, the diplomat noted that Ukraine has created a fund to insure these risks and could attract various companies and vessels interested in grain transportation.
“We may not even use the route agreed on as part of the grain agreement but transport grain through the territorial waters of Romania and Bulgaria. This is a possible option to minimize risks,” Bodnar explained.
