The European Union remains committed to supporting Ukraine's agricultural exports, despite challenges posed by Russian strikes on Ukraine's seaports, a European Commission spokesperson announced on September 7. The EU is exploring the Danube corridor as a viable alternative to sea shipping for agricultural products. EU officials are closely monitoring the situation in the Black Sea, including infrastructure and border crossing disruptions caused by Russian actions.
The commission is assessing the potential impact on agriculture, the economy, and global food security. The EU supports a moratorium on attacks in the Black Sea. The European Commission is in contact with Ukrainian authorities and neighboring countries to address current issues related to shipping disruptions in the Danube region. Ukraine's agricultural exports in August only reached one-third of their potential volume.
