Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine Taras Kachka in an interview with newspaper journalists stated that he was hoping for an agreement between Ukraine and Russia, which allows to restore the transportation of grain. The Deputy Minister has suggested that it can be a model for other goods, as traders and exporters "always check the borders". "This agreement concerns logistics, ship movement through the Black Sea. What is the difference between grain and iron ore?" Said the duck.
Meanwhile, the observers noted that according to the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak, the agreement will probably act for some time and until it meets the economic interests of Russia. But as soon as the benefits of the Russians are not obvious, Moscow will again look for a way to block sea routes. "It seems to me that these caravans will go back and forth, in parallel with Russian caravans, who also want to carry their grain.
Russia will look for a way to block all this again. This is my pessimistic and optimistic scenario collected together," Podolyak said. According to the adviser to the head of the OP, the Kremlin went to the agreement only because the invasion of Ukraine was not planned. Russia planned to capture the ports of Odessa and Nikolaev to establish control of export routes in the Black Sea region, says Podolyak.
