With Black Sea ports blocked by the Russian navy and the world on the precipice of food shortfalls, Ukraine’s efforts to deliver its grains to market have been snarled by slow border crossings that have created an immense backup on the country’s rail lines.
“We understand that old Europe is well-fed with a nice quality of life and slow decision-making. But we really would like it if they would run at the same speed we are,” he said. Ukraine’s agricultural and industrial sectors have been built around moving goods through the Black Sea, where ports around Odesa and Mykolaiv have served as the critical bridge connecting one of the world’s great bread baskets with distant grocery stores and dinner plates.The closure of those ports by the Russian navy has prompted a race to find alternatives. Efforts to increase exports via the Danube have, to date, fallen far short of government goals.
Ukraine’s farmers have shown fortitude under fire. In the early days of the war, some used tractors to tow away tanks. With the arrival of spring, those living near conflict areas have sown and fertilized under fire. The country has succeeded in planting nearly three-quarters of its fields. “We don’t know whether we will harvest or not. But we at least need to try,” said Yury Anatoliyovych, a farmer in northern Kherson oblast, as he watched a tractor spray insecticide on one of his fields, preparing it to sow flaxseed. It was among the last of his 1,500 hectares to be planted this year.
“When the Russians fire, their shells land in that field,” he said. “When they stop shooting, we quickly sneak in to apply herbicide.” Artillery shells have landed before and behind Mr. Dolezhanskyi’s home.
Can we trust Putin to let the Ukranian grain move through the Black Sea? Probably not. Putin has the Black Sea ports blocked And now the world's food chains are rocked 'If the harsh sanctions go then I'll let the grain flow!' But Vladimir, your word - it is crocked.
Lies and propaganda from Reuters. Ukraine has mined its own harbors while Russia endeavors to open shipping channels. How does it help Russia to be seen causing starvation in Egypt, which is a main customer for Ukraine wheat?
