Putin called the cheapest way to export grain from Ukraine

According to him, grain can be exported through Ukrainian ports after their clearance, through Romania, Poland, Hungary and through Russian-controlled ports in the Black and Azov Seas.

“The simplest is export from the territory of Belarus, the cheapest.

From there - immediately to the ports of the Baltic States, the Baltic Sea and anywhere in the world.

But for this it is necessary to remove sanctions from Belarus, ”Putin said in an interview for the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

He noted that the Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko raises the issue in this way.

Earlier, Lukashenka announced Minsk's readiness to help Kyiv with the export of grain through Belarusian territory, subject to compromises.
