Part of situation: Ukraine-EU agricultural and grain transit disputes (7 clusters)

Ukraine requests grain transit through neighboring EU countries

Ukrainian grain transit Black Sea blockade Péter Magyar Volodymyr Zelenskiy agricultural exports

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has formally requested that neighboring countries, including Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Hungary, facilitate the transit of Ukrainian grain to Western markets. This appeal follows a blockade in the Black Sea caused by Russian military actions, which has severely disrupted Ukraine's ability to export agricultural products. Approximately 90% of Ukraine's grain exports typically travel through the Black Sea.

Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar, who recently met with Zelenskiy in Brussels, indicated that Hungary would not oppose the transit of grain, provided the shipments are strictly in transit and do not enter the local Hungarian market. Magyar suggested that the transit could follow a model established shortly after the 2022 Russian invasion. Specifically, Zelenskiy proposed transporting corn in sealed railway wagons to Western Europe as a highly beneficial solution.

Magyar's stance marks a less confrontational approach toward Kyiv compared to his predecessor, Viktor Orbán. While Magyar expressed full solidarity with Ukraine against Russian aggression, he maintained that Hungary will not provide weapons and continues to advocate for the rights of the ethnic Hungarian minority in Ukraine. The discussions also aimed to reset bilateral relations between Hungary and Ukraine.
