[Regnum] The Lithuanian authorities will allocate an additional €2 million to ensure supplies of Ukrainian grain, head of the government of the Baltic republic Ingrida Simonyte announced on November 25 at a press conference in Kiev. “Lithuania joined this initiative last year, and today we are allocating an additional €2 million, which will go to Ukraine by the end of this year,” she said. The Prime Minister added that the Lithuanian government is working on alternative export routes and new corridors. There is an intention to increase the transit capabilities of Lithuanian ports for exports from Ukraine, this will make it possible to create another corridor through the Baltic Sea for the export of Ukrainian products, Simonyte concluded. As Regnum reported , Lithuania previously proposed using Baltic ports to export grain from Ukraine, which could become an alternative to other channels. In addition to Lithuania, other Baltic republics wanted to organize the transportation of Ukrainian grain through ports. Vilnius considered that the transit of Ukrainian grain through the Baltic ports could become permanent, but additional investments in the Lithuanian transport infrastructure are needed. The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky , said on November 25 that Ukraine had agreed with its allies to provide Kiev with warships to escort cargo ships in the “grain corridor” in the Black Sea. Also, Ukraine, according to him, will receive additional air defense systems for the Odessa region. |
