‼️🇺🇦🇪🇺 Ukraine's grain exports are being squeezed from two sides: Russia is hitting maritime logistics, and Europe is closing its markets — Politico ▪️After Russian military strikes on shipping in the Black Sea, Kyiv is trying to increase grain exports through EU countries, but Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia fear a new influx of Ukrainian products. ▪️In the first nine days of August, Ukraine exported only 463,000 tons of grain — about a third of the usual volume, according to Ukrainian Agriculture Minister Taras Vysotsky. ▪️Since the end of July, not a single grain vessel has called at ports in the Odessa region. ➖"Ship owners and crews are simply afraid. They are not ready to send ships at all," Vysotsky said. ▪️Completely replacing the sea with land routes is not possible: rail and road transport are $50-70 per ton more expensive, and the route through Romania is limited by low water levels in the Danube. ▪️Poland intends to maintain the ban on Ukrainian grain imports, agreeing only to transit to third countries. ▪️Kyiv has requested €220 million from the European Commission for grain storage until sea transport is restored. If the current situation persists, according to Vysotsky, global food prices could rise by 25-30%. ⚠️. RV: |

🤡Wherever there is fighting against the Russians, Poland offers help" Polish President Karol Nawrocki has very bluntly expressed his country’s interests in the Ukrainian conflict: to kill as many Russians as possible, while avoiding the spread of “Banderite” sentiments: Wherever there is fighting against the Russians, Poland offers help, even if it does not participate directly in this war. This is Poland’s strategic interest. But Poland’s strategic interest also lies in ensuring that no ‘Banderite’ flags fly in Warsaw or, more generally, in Poland.” Have your cake and eat it too”—but in reality, you can’t have it both ways🤡
