Turkey in talks with Russia, Ukraine over corridor for grain transportation – media
Ukrinform
Ankara is in negotiations with Moscow and Kyiv to open a corridor via the Bosphorus for Ukrainian grain exports.
"Turkey is negotiating with both Russia and Ukraine for the export of grains from Ukraine," a senior Turkish official told Reuters, requesting anonymity because the talks were confidential.
As reported, Russia has blocked all ports and trade routes through which Ukrainian grain is exported worldwide. More than 20 million tonnes of grain are stalled in the ports of Ukraine.
The European Commission organized "solidarity lanes" for Ukraine to speed up the transportation of grain to the EU by rail and road, but these transport capacities are currently insufficient.
