Kuleba said Ukraine was ready to seek solutions but that grains should not be hostage to domestic political processes in the countries involved. / Photo: AP ArchiveUkraine has strongly opposed the imposition of any restrictions on the import of its grain by neighbouring countries after a European Union ban ends next month, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.
The five countries want the ban extended until the end of the year and some have threatened to introduce their own restrictions if Brussels does not act.This move will violate rules of common market. This move will violate the Ukraine-EU association agreement...it will go against the principle of solidarityThere is no alternative to the Black Sea Grain Initiative, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's chief adviser Akif Cagatay Kilic has said.
Türkiye continues its efforts to resume the grain corridor again, Kilic told Turkish news channel NTV.A second civilian cargo ship to sail from Ukraine since Russia withdrew from a UN-backed Black Sea grain export agreement has safely reached Istanbul, marine traffic monitors said. Moscow warned that it may considered any ships in the Black Sea as military target and began bombing Ukrainian port infrastructure after withdrawing from the UN and Türkiye-brokered deal last month.The passage of a second ship from Ukraine along a temporary Black Sea corridor has nothing to do with the prospects for a new grain deal involving Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
