Ukraine exported up to 6 million tonnes of grain a month before Russia launched an invasion on Feb. 24. Moscow calls its action a special military operation. May export volumes fell to about 1.7 million tonnes as Ukraine, which used to export most of its goods through seaports, has been forced to transport grain by train via its western border or via its small Danube river ports.
