First, Ukraine Liberated Snake Island. Now, It's Shipping Grain From Nearby Ports.

Grain ships have begun sailing to Ukrainian ports on the Danube River near Romania.

The safe passage of eight cargo vessels from the Black Sea to the river ports of Reni and Izmail along the Danube-Black Sea Canal is a profoundly important development for Ukraine’s economy. The ships soon should sail back along the same route—and then out of the Black Sea via Turkey’s Bosphorous Strait.

“Even a partial recovery of sea exports will stimulate grain purchases by traders, which will support domestic prices,” the country’s grain exchange stated.

The ships, each hauling potentially thousands of tons of cargo, could help to speed the flow of wheat and other grains—millions of tons of them—that have piled up in Ukraine’s silos since the Russian Black Sea Fleet blockaded Ukraine’s biggest port, Odesa, starting in February.
