RUSSIA VS BALTICS: Latvia and Lithuania Move Against Russian Grain Transit | Times Now World

Latvia and Lithuania are considering restrictions on Russian grain shipments through their ports after Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian Baltic ports reportedly prompted Moscow to redirect grain exports through the region, Reuters reported, citing senior officials. Latvia's government is expected to discuss a possible complete ban on Russian grain exports through the country, while Lithuania has said using its infrastructure for Russian grain exports is no longer acceptable. Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius said such exports "contradict our values," while stressing that any restrictions would not affect grain transit between mainland Russia and Kaliningrad. Russia exported about 80 million tonnes of food in 2025, according to Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut, with grain among its leading export commodities. The developments come as Ukraine also faces concerns over its agricultural export routes. #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #ukrainewar #russiangrain #grainexports #graintrade #latvia #lithuania #balticstates #balticsea #russianexports #russiasanctions #grainban #ukrainestrikes #droneattacks #kaliningrad #europeanunion #geopoliticalcrisis #breakingnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
