Grain exports

Representatives of the United States, the European Union, Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova and Romania are today having talks in Galaţi, in south-eastern Romania, about alternative routes for the transport of Ukrainian grain, said the US embassy in Bucharest. „In a crucial meeting, which will take place in Galati, Romania, Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova, the European Commission and the United States will join forces, following Russia’s harsh exit from the Black Sea Grain Initiative,” said the US Embassy, denouncing Russia for turning food into a weapon and endangering global food security. „The United States stands firmly by Ukraine, promising continued support and assistance to help Ukraine overcome challenges and promote prosperity in the region,” the US Embassy added.
