After months of negotiations, a team led by Oleksandr Kubrakov and Yurii Vaskov managed to restore operations at three deep-water Black Sea ports for grain exports and organized a comprehensive grain shipment process with a fair system for vessel calls.
Following Russia’s withdrawal from the Black Sea Initiative, our team spearheaded efforts to maintain uninterrupted maritime trade through a new project — the Ukrainian Humanitarian Corridor. The creation of this corridor was made possible through the joint efforts of Ukraine’s defense forces, operations conducted by Ukraine and its allies, and the support of businesses that committed to using this alternative trade route.
