Negotiations between Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the United Nations (UN) began in Istanbul, the Turkish Defense Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
“The four-part meeting between the military delegations of the defense ministries of Turkey, the Russian Federation and Ukraine and the United Nations delegation on the safe shipment of grain waiting in Ukrainian ports by sea started at Kalender Kosk,” he said.
A little more context: Ukraine hopes to accelerate grain exports via the reopened Danube River routes amid Russia’s blockade of key Black Sea ports.
The line of barges currently waiting to navigate the Danube River and load grain at one of Ukraine’s river ports will take several weeks to clear, First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Taras Vysotsky said in a televised speech on Wednesday. fair.
“A queue of about 90 barges has formed in the Danube River area for several months and will continue for several weeks,” Vysotsky said.
“Thanks to the launch of Snake Island, the additional income is four to five ships a day.”
“This route is not able to compensate for the volumes we export through our Black Sea ports,” he added.
About 80% of Ukraine’s grain exports were shipped from the country’s Black Sea ports before Russia’s invasion.
