Croatia offers railways, ports to export Ukrainian grain

Croatia offered its rail network and ports on the Adriatic Sea as an alternative export route for Ukrainian grain during a session at the U.N. General Assembly on July 18.
"Croatia is ready to help" said the State Secretary for Political Affairs Frano Matušić, adding that "Croatian railways and ports in the Adriatic Sea are one of the possible alternative routes."
Russia dealt a significant blow to global food security on July 17 by announcing its withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
The deal, brokered by Turkey and the U.N. in July 2022, allowed Ukraine to continue exporting its agricultural products through the Black Sea during the full-scale invasion.
Ukraine is one of the world's largest grain suppliers and the agreement has played a crucial role in stabilizing food prices worldwide amid a surge caused, in part, by Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.
The EU will also continue helping Ukraine to export its agricultural products through the "solidarity lanes," according to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on July 18.
However, Central European countries fear that the flow of Ukrainian grain to the EU will again increase, pushing down prices.

Zagreb has also pledged to provide 14 Mi-8 helicopters to Kyiv, nine of which were reportedly delivered in May, and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković has repeatedly visited Ukraine.
The support provided by Croatia's government stands in contrast with the stances of the country's President Zoran Milanović, who has criticized Western sanctions against Russia and denounced arms supplies for Ukraine.
