In a joint agreement with Lithuania agreed on Tuesday, the countries agreed to speed up the transit of exports to Africa and the Middle East through Poland. From Wednesday, exports shipped through Lithuanian ports will no longer be checked at the Polish-Ukrainian border, Poland’s Agriculture Minister Robert Telus said.
Accordingly, Lithuania will assume “full responsibility” for inspecting the goods. Poland will continue to build transit corridors “because it is good for Polish farmers, for Ukraine, for the European Union and for the whole world.”
Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has blocked the classic export route for Ukrainian grain across the Black Sea. The EU imposed trade restrictions on Ukraine for overland transport in order to protect farmers in transit countries – including Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. Grain from Ukraine was allowed to be transported through the countries, but not sold there. When the restrictions expired, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia extended the ban, causing diplomatic tensions with Kiev.
