Zelensky discusses alternative wheat export corridors with EU

Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has discussed “possible” alternative to export wheat from Ukraine with European Commission President Ursula von der Leenen, the Ukrainian president's office said.

In July, Russia left an EU-backed agreement that enabled exports from Ukraine to sail from three approved Black Sea ports.

Since then, Kiev has started what it calls a temporary humanitarian corridor to the Black Sea for the export of wheat.

Zelensky's office said he and Mrs. von der Leyen agreed to hold <x0 constructive dialogue” on efforts to remove grain export restrictions imposed by some of Ukraine's neighbouring states, says Sky News.
