- Grain shipments from Russia through Latvia increased significantly in August, according to TV3.
- The report warned that rail volumes could return to levels seen during the first years of the war during the September and October peak months.
Russian grain transit through Latvia increased sharply in August, according to TV3’s program “Nekā personīga.”
The report said that, amid threats in the Black and Azov seas during this grain-transfer season, Russia is trying to redirect large quantities of grain exports to ports on the Baltic Sea.
That could bring the volume of what the report called “bloody grain” transported along Latvia’s railways back to levels seen during the first years of the war when the peak months arrive in September and October.
