Hungary PM open to Ukrainian corn transit, easing EU grain dispute
Published 3 h ago4 sourcesEvidence: Reported
Ukrainian President Zelensky has asked Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania to permit grain transit to Western markets, with Hungarian PM Peter Magyar indicating a positive response. This follows prior EU-brokered transit agreements that lapsed amid bilateral tensions. The outcome is uncertain as Poland and Slovakia have previously resisted, but a new deal could ease Ukrainian export bottlenecks.
Ukraine has formally requested Slovakia, Poland, Romania, and Hungary to allow overland transit of its grain, signaling a strategic shift to land-based export routes due to persistent Black Sea disruptions. Hungary has indicated a positive response to corn transit, while the positions of other neighbors remain uncertain given prior tensions. This development reflects ongoing efforts to mitigate the impact of Black Sea blockades and infrastructure damage.
