Ukraine is exploring use of Moldova’s rail network to export grain to Romania’s
Constanta port amid disruption to Black Sea shipping. Moldova deputy prime
minister and infrastructure and regional development minister Vladimir Bolea
visited Ukraine’s Odesa region on the 10th to discuss improving rail links and
boosting transit capacity. Talks focus on scheduling, volumes and freight: Kyiv
seeks a 50% discount off standard tariffs; Moldova is asking Ukraine to
guarantee transit volumes.
