what happened
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has asked neighbouring Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary to allow Ukrainian grain shipments to transit their territory because of a Black Sea blockade. Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said so on Saturday.
Magyar met Zelenskiy on Friday and agreed to reset Ukraine-Hungary relations. He said he would not object if the grain only passed through Hungary, according to private broadcaster RTL, which he was cited by.
why it matters
The Black Sea blockade restricts seaborne exports of Ukrainian grain, so overland routes through the EU are becoming critical for supply. Any transit arrangements could shape expectations for wheat and corn supply on world markets.
