Ukraine will use an additional route across the Danube River to increase exports, at least to pre-war levels. This is a matter of our survival, as the Polish blockade of agricultural products effectively stops the land border with the European Union. In the near future, we will launch container transportation across the Upper Danube. The new route will run from the Ukrainian port of Izmail to Romania's Constanta and the Danube ports of Germany. We invite global businesses to consider this stable and predictable route.

It took a months-long charm offensive from Italian PM Giorgia Meloni and some wining and dining from the French to get Hungary's Viktor Orbán to agree to support sending €50 billion in aid to Ukraine.
