Latvia and Lithuania consider halting Russian grain transit
Latvia and Lithuania are studying a ban on the transit of Russian grains through their ports, aiming to impose a complete ban on the transportation of these grains, even though their movement between Russian areas such as Kaliningrad via Lithuania might continue if restrictions are enforced. Sources confirmed that Russia exported approximately 80 million tons of foodstuffs last year, valued at $41.5 billion, and Western sanctions are continuing to escalate despite Moscow's resistance. At the same time, the Global Food Price Index rose by 1.9% in August 2026, the highest level since 2022, with prices increasing by 2.5% compared to the previous year. Turkish President Erdoğan emphasizes the importance of protecting all ships in the Black Sea to ensure navigation safety, while Putin reiterates that the issues surrounding Ukrainian grains remain unresolved, with their continued flow to Europe at the expense of developing countries.
