Romania provides over 60% of Ukrainian grain transit

Romania accounts for more than 60% of the transit of Ukrainian grain that passes through the EU’s Solidarity Roads. This was reported by the press service of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

On the sidelines of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly in New York, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a multilateral meeting with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, President of Romania Klaus Johannis and Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bulgaria Maria Gabriel.

The talks in this format were primarily focused on the preservation of the single market principle and free access of Ukrainian agricultural products to the EU market.

“Romania is responsible for over 60% of the transit of Ukrainian grain that passes through the EU’s Solidarity Roads. Our joint efforts will help reduce the burden on the infrastructure of the Ukrainian ports of Izmail and Reni, as well as speed up cargo transshipment. The Ukrainian part of the Danube should also be included in the TEN-T trans-European transport network,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.

The participants of the meeting also discussed alternative transport routes through Romania and Bulgaria, which will significantly increase transit volumes and reduce the burden on the domestic markets of these countries.
