Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal says Kyiv wants to ease passage for goods to Romania. Speaking on August 18 during a visit to Bucharest, Shmyhal hailed "important and constructive" talks with Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu and said the countries had signed an agreement "ensuring the reliable transit of Ukrainian goods." Romania has become a key transit point for Ukrainian grain exports since Moscow scrapped a deal allowing safe passage for vessels on the Black Sea.
