Ukraine Welcomes Latvia’s Move to Restrict Transit of Russian Grain
Kyiv’s Foreign Ministry says it supports Latvian measures aimed at curbing the transit of Russian grain and preventing stolen Ukrainian grain from passing through Latvian ports.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it welcomes Latvia’s preparations to introduce measures restricting the transit of Russian grain, according to the ministry as cited by Ukrinform.
The ministry said the planned steps also include strengthening controls at Latvian ports to prevent grain stolen from Ukraine, particularly from Russian-occupied territories, from being transported through Latvia.
Ukrainian officials have repeatedly accused Russia of exporting grain seized from occupied Ukrainian regions, saying such shipments amount to theft of Ukrainian resources and undermine international grain markets.
Ukrinform did not provide further details on the specific measures Latvia is preparing or a timeline for their implementation.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry’s statement did not elaborate on how the restrictions would be enforced or whether Latvia had made any official announcement of its own regarding the planned controls.
