(12 May 2022) – As part of the EU’s solidarity response with Ukraine, the Commission today presented a set of actions to help Ukraine export its agricultural produce.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its blockade of Ukrainian ports, Ukrainian grain and other agricultural goods can no longer reach their destinations.
The situation is threatening global food security and there is an urgent need to establish alternative logistics routes using all relevant transport modes.
With today’s Communication, the Commission sets out an action plan to establish ‘Solidarity Lanes’ to ensure Ukraine can export grain, but also import the goods it needs, from humanitarian aid to animal feed and fertilisers.
