Where the ship will go is not specified. The Acting Head of the Republic added that for the supply of grain, they decided to use ships operated by the Federal Autonomous Institution "RosKapStroy", delivering building materials to Mariupol.
"This approach, when building materials are delivered to the port and grain back, will make it possible to reduce the cost of logistics by several times, as well as significantly unload checkpoints on the roads," Pushilin is sure.
