The President's Office announced the option of unblocking Ukrainian ports - military convoys for cargo ships with grain.

The Adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Mykhailo Podoliak, said this on the air of the national telethon, “RBC-Ukraine” reports.

«I support the British concept. These are grain convoys. This is the only format that can work. Then there will be no blackmail, then everything will work clearly», Podoliak said.

According to him, Ukraine currently transports grain by land. However, "this is not the amount, but we are already giving grain to the world market to provide Asian and African countries”.

Podoliak also criticized supporters of the idea of unblocking Ukrainian ports in exchange for lifting sanctions on russia.

Britain is coordinating with its allies a potential plan to send warships to the Black Sea to escort ships exporting Ukrainian grain.

Meanwhile, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba called on the world not to buy stolen Ukrainian grain from russia.
