BUCHAREST, June 7. /TASS/. Romanian President Klaus Iohannis confirmed that Ukrainian grain is exported through the Romanian port of Constanta. He made a relevant statement talking to reporters in the city of Buzau on Tuesday. The transcript of statement is published on the website of the presidential administration.

"Grain is delivered to the port of Constanta and from there by water. For the time being it seems to me it is exaggeration to say that the Black Sea is blocked. Constanta is not blocked and we will make sure that it is not blocked," he said.

In late May, Romanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu said at a meeting of the UN Security Council on famine and armed conflicts that more than 240,000 tonnes of grain had been exported from Ukraine through the port of Constanta since the end of April.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow is ready to guarantee the unhindered export of grain from the ports of Ukraine if that country demines their waters. He also noted that Kiev can use routes to Hungary, Romania (including along the Danube) or Poland.

However, according to media reports, the real possibilities of the port of Constanta for the export of Ukrainian grain are limited.

According to Germany’s Deutsche Welle broadcasting company (added to the list of foreign agents by Russia’s Justice Ministry) noted that "if the port of Constanta takes over part of the cargo turnover of the port in Odessa, then massive investments in infrastructure will be required."

Radio Free Europe (recognized as a foreign media agent in the Russian Federation) stressed that according to optimistic forecasts, almost 2 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain may be exported by the end of July, after which the port will be overloaded with Romanian farmers.
