Russia denies accusations of hindering grain exports

According to Putin, Ukraine’s grain exports can still be carried out through the ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk that are under Russian control, through the Ukrainian port of Odessa or even through Central Europe.

However, Putin said that the simplest, easiest and cheapest solution today is to export Ukrainian grain to Belarus, as long as the sanctions against Belarus are lifted.

The statement comes as Russia occupies most of the southern coastal regions of Ukraine and controls Kiev’s seaports on the Black Sea.

Earlier on the same day, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko also said that Minsk was ready to allow the transport of Ukrainian grain through its territory, if allowed.

Ukraine has not yet commented on these new proposals.
