The Foreign Ministers of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg visited the Odesa port in solidarity with Ukraine.
This was reported by the USPA.
The European partners highly appreciated Ukraine’s efforts aimed at preserving and developing the operation of ports, as well as the stability of the functioning of the maritime corridor. The ministers also inspected the building of the Odessa Marine Terminal, which was damaged as a result of a Russian missile strike in September 2023.
The delegation was headed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belgium Maxim Prevost, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Luxembourg Xavier Bethel and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands Helen Bakker.
The Chairman of the USPA Oleksandr Semirga noted that the visit of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg to Odessa is a clear signal of solidarity. Despite more than 450 attacks on port infrastructure, Ukraine continues to work and provide the world with Ukrainian grain and other cargo.
USM previously reported that the USPA explained why they are not dredging the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi port.
