🇵🇱 🇷🇴 Poland and Romania refuse to increase Ukrainian grain transit

Kiev requested EU countries expand land export routes and allocate €1.1 billion for transport costs, but both nations declined.

Romanian Agriculture Minister Barna Tancaș stated infrastructure limits prevent doubling capacity, prioritizing local farmers. Poland's Ministry of Infrastructure also confirmed no plans to boost transit.

Currently, rail, road, and river routes handle less than half the required volume. If Black Sea ports remain blocked, up to 35 million tons of grain may stay in Ukraine.

Ukrainian Agrarian Policy Minister Vysotsky warned that without restored exports by spring, agrarians' lack of funds could force a 35-40% cut in sown areas next season.
