and see Moscow That this problem was exaggerated in light of Western accusations of Russia blackmailing the world into a crisis food By closing Ukrainian ports, obstructing food supplies through them, prompting the delegate Russia Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzia to withdraw from a meeting of the Security Council on Monday.
Moscow considers these accusations to be false and nothing but "Trick"especially after Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed his country’s readiness to ensure the unhindered export of grain from Ports of Ukraine In the event that Kyiv cleared mines from its waters, he also pledged not to exploit mine clearance for"Launch any attacks from the sea".
pointed Putin To the existence of 4 other paths for the export of Ukrainian grain, namely:
- Through the ports under the control of Russia in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea (Mariopol, Berdyansk and Kherson), this route is open without any conditions.
- across the Danube and by road to the ports of Romania on the Black Sea.
- Through Poland by rail to the ports of the Baltic Sea.
- Via Belarus to Lithuania, which is the simplest and cheapest route, but requires the lifting of Western sanctions on Minsk.
Directions for exporting those grains
Ukraine has rejected the option of using the ports under Russian control, accusing Moscow of"grain theft".
As for the Danube route, its capacities are limited, and the Romanian authorities confirmed last month that only about 240 thousand tons of grain was transported through it, knowing that the total grain exports from Ukraine before the last conflict amounted to between 5 and 6 million tons per month.
and problem "Polish track" It is primarily represented in the difference between the railway width in Ukraine and Poland, as the railways in Ukraine, as in other former Soviet republics, are 10 centimeters wider than in Poland and European countries, which requires either reloading the wagons at the borders, or transferring them to the wheels other.
Polish officials point out that the technical capabilities of the border crossings do not allow the passage of more than one or two million tons of grain per month.
if it was "Polish track" Meets the needs of Western arms supply to Kyiv, it does not compensate for the loss "sea path"through which about 90 percent of Ukrainian food exports passed before the last crisis.
It is considered "Belarusian track" The best way to transport grain in the current circumstances, given that it is free of a problem "rail width"But the Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky He recently confirmed that his country is not ready now to export grain through Belarus, and Lithuanian President Getagas Nosida supported him in this position, saying that the transport of Ukrainian grain through Belarus to the port of Klaipeda is unacceptable for political considerations and because of EU sanctions.
And the most point "hot" It is the export through the ports of the Ukrainian provinces of Odessa and Nikolaev on the shores of the Black Sea, whose stores contain most of the Ukrainian crops of grain intended for export, weighing about 22 million tons, according to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
Zelensky rejected Russia’s proposal to clear the ports in exchange for a pledge not to launch an attack through it "safe passage"He insisted that his forces hand over anti-ship systems, "Best guarantee" To open the Ukrainian ports besieged by the Russian army.
In light of this impasse, it was reported that Turkey, Ukraine and the United Nations prepared a roadmap in coordination with Russia to launch a safe corridor for exporting grain from Ukrainian ports under the auspices of the United Nations.
All eyes are now on Ankara, where Russian-Turkish consultations will begin, which will be joined by a Russian delegation headed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who will embark on a visit to Turkey on Tuesday to continue discussing possible mechanisms for the export of Ukrainian grain.
