SOCHI, June 3. /TASS/. Russia does not obstruct grain export from Ukraine and this can be done via Black Sea ports and neighboring countries, President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with the Rossiya-1 TV Channel.

"As regards Ukrainian grain exports, we do not put obstacles to that," Putin said.

Several ways of exporting such grain exist, the Russian leader noted. This can be done via ports controlled by Ukraine after mine clearance, via Berdyansk and Mariupol, via the Danube River and Romania, Hungary and Poland, and the simplest way is through Belarus, Putin added.
