Slovakia calls for security guarantor for Ukrainian grain
The UN or Turkey should act as a security guarantor to make sure grain gets safely out of the Ukrainian port of Odesa, Slovakia’s Prime Minister Eduard Heger has suggested.
Speaking at the Globsec conference in Bratislava last week, Mr Heger said opening up Ukraine’s maritime ports was the only practical way of transporting millions of tons of grain out of the country as road and rail options cannot offer sufficient capacity.
He said: “We need to free the port by a third force that will [guarantee] security as an arbiter.
“That’s how we can get the grain.”
