Ukrainian ports on the Danube were involved in the humanitarian program Grain from Ukraine, introduced by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy last year in November.

From now on, Danube ports will be involved in providing humanitarian aid in the form of wheat and corn to countries in Africa and Asia, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said.

The relevant resolution was approved by the Cabinet of Ministers. The assistance will be provided within the framework of the Grain from Ukraine initiative of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“This is our contribution to global food security. We are working with the UN and other partners to fully restore agricultural exports from Ukraine and finally unblock our Black Sea ports,” commented Shmyhal.

It will be recalled that in July the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine intercepted a report by the Russians on the Grain Agreement for the top military and political leadership of the Russian Federation.

In general, the text of the document is devoted to the technologies that were used to hinder the implementation of the “grain corridor” and, as a result, led to the final breakdown of the agreement.

Particular attention was paid to the disruption of grain supplies under the program of the UN World Food Program: “Ukrainians’ attempts to use the Black Sea initiative to continue the so-called “Grain from Ukraine” program with the involvement of vessels chartered under the line of the World Food Program have been stopped. The registration of such vessels took place only after the submission of written commitments not to participate in such actions.”
