On Monday, September 12, the governments of France and Romania signed an agreement on facilitating grain exports from Ukraine by land.

French Transport Minister Clément Beaune announced this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

“I and my Romanian colleague Ionel Scriosteanu have signed an agreement that facilitates the Ukrainian grain exports through providing our logistical expertise," he wrote.

Beaune added that the signing of the document took place in the presence of Ambassador of Ukraine to the French Republic, Vadym Omelchenko.

The French minister also stressed that France stands in full solidarity with Ukraine.
