The potential of Ukrainian ports has dropped by 40% following Russia’s exit from the grain deal

The potential of Ukrainian ports has dropped by 40% following Russia’s exit from the grain deal.

Vice Prime Minister Alexander Kubrakov made this announcement.

The cause of this decline is attributed to 17 large-scale attacks on ports, during which nearly 300,000 tons of grain were destroyed.

However, as stated by Kubrakov, “we have managed to create an opportunity for a temporary corridor for civilian vessels to operate.”

Already, 21 vessels have utilized this corridor for exporting, and 25 vessels have entered Ukrainian ports for loading. Kiev continues to work on expanding the corridor.
