Ukraine and Romania Strengthen Grain Exports via New Accord

Ukraine and Romania have signed an agreement to boost Ukraine's grain exports through Romanian territory after Russia terminated a key wartime shipping agreement that allowed safe passage through the Black Sea. The two countries aim to improve transportation infrastructure, including river, rail, road, and sea routes, to facilitate the smooth transport of goods. Romania intends to transport over 60% of Ukraine's grain exports and aims to double the amount from 2 million to 4 million tons per month. The Black Sea port of Constanta and the Sulina Channel will play crucial roles in transporting Ukraine's goods to the international market. The agreement comes amid Russian strikes on Ukraine's grain storage and port facilities along the Danube River.
