Ukraine exported 4.2 million tons of foodstuffs via European Union (EU) « solidarity lanes » in September, the Ukrainian government-run Ukrinform news agency reported Tuesday.
Since May 2022, Ukraine has supplied 102 million tons of goods, including 56 million tons of foodstuffs overseas, through the « solidarity lanes, » Stefan de Keersmaecker, spokesperson for the European Commission, was quoted as saying.
« The ‘solidarity lanes’ remain an absolutely essential element for facilitating the transportation of these goods, » he said.
In May 2022, the European Union established alternative logistics routes for Ukraine’s exports via rail, road and inland waterways, known as « solidarity lanes, » in response to the blockade of Ukrainian seaports.
