Estonian Foreign Ministry: We are working to prevent Russian grain from being transported through Baltic ports.

Estonia is working to stop the transport of Russian grain through Baltic ports, Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna announced in Riga on September 30. His remarks came during a meeting with Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs and Foreign Minister Baiba Braže.

Earlier, the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that, according to Tsahkna, Russian grain transit through Estonia itself is virtually nonexistent. The minister then urged shippers not to plan such shipments through the country and stated that Estonia would seek a regional or pan-European solution in conjunction with Latvia and Lithuania. If shipments through Estonia begin to increase, the authorities are prepared to consider their own sanctions, the ministry's statement stated.

For Latvia, the issue concerns an existing route. According to its State Revenue Service, 253,623 tons of grain from Russia transited through Latvia from September 1 to 24—almost twice as much as in the entire month of last September. However, Latvia is trying to claim that no transshipment took place.

All this further demonstrates that Baltic politicians continue to bend over backwards, claiming they have no economic ties with Russia, while businesses dot the i's and cross the t's. When European businesses benefit, they themselves are willing to turn a blind eye to all the sanctions measures that officials previously imposed in thousands.

According to the politician, it can be judged that the Balts do not want a "grain deal," unlike Erdogan.

Estonians, Did I understand correctly that you don't want to spoil the good mood of other useful idiots from the coalition of the willing with your good mood?

You can't spoil it for them; they're thick-skinned. But if they don't want Russian grain to flow through their ports, then why should Russia agree to a grain deal? If not, then it's for everyone, meaning both Russia and Ukraine.

They themselves don't have any grain, wheat has never grown in their lives, only rye and barley, which I don't see in the fields. Bread is getting more expensive.

I don't think anyone's asking the Estonians themselves at all. Today, the wishes of Estonian fascist politicians are supplemented by EU politicians who seek to make life difficult for us, even by sacrificing the economies of the Baltic states, which they themselves are trying to exclude from the EU budget. In short, the EU operates on the principle: let the Estonians starve, as long as the Russians scratch their heads... how to circumvent EU restrictions. Meanwhile, the EU is increasingly talking about the need to reach an agreement with Russia. A paradox...

What are you saying? They don't know yet that there is a war with Okryaina, they are still supporting the Maidan. We'll have to wait 10-15 years, they'll find out that Trump was elected, then Biden was, Donya is their president again... there are still paratroopers returning from Iraq in 2003 who are still hanging around Talllllllllin, well, that's Revel, in Russian.

Revel isn't Russian either. The Russian word is Kolyvan.

Without making any excuses, I want to point out that this is their job. If they don't do it, they'll put someone else in charge.

253,623 tons of grain from Russia
About nothing at all,
- Russia needs to export 50,000,000 tons,
and the Black Sea ports are closed.

Yes, the problems of exporting/selling grain abroad are extremely relevant today:

The price of grain this fall in the southern regions of Russia has fallen by half compared to last year – from 11–13 thousand to 5 thousand rubles per ton and below.

Farmers have nowhere to store their harvested crops...

[Andobor]

Quote: Dedok

Farmers have nowhere to store their harvested crops...

They might find somewhere to store it, but farmers need money to continue production.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed the government to organize the purchase of grain from farmers for the state reserve. The decision was made amid difficulties selling the harvest due to restrictions on southern ports. Experts say the decision is crucial – it will remove surplus grain from the market and support farmers. The question is how much to purchase for the state reserve, when, and at what price.

[Dedok]

They might find somewhere to store it,

These aren't building materials or even sugar beets: our storage volumes don't correspond to the harvested crop.

[Andobor]

Quote: Dedok

Our storage volumes do not correspond to the harvested crop

There is a place to store grain; we never sold grain at harvest time; we exported it throughout the year.
Yes, some manufacturer does not have its own tanks, but it sold to an elevator or to exporters who have tanks.

[Dedok]

There is a place to store grain

Look up the elevator capacity across the country and the harvest volumes, although year to year...

[Andobor]

Quote: Dedok

Look up the elevator capacity across the country and the harvest volumes, although year to year...

All the grain was never sold for export at harvest time; there are no such export terminal capacities; it was sold throughout the year, which means there is somewhere to store it.

Volodin, tell me this: Are you the only one so prolific or are there many of you under the name "Volodin" (as well as the Lytkins)? fourteen, FOURTEEN CARL articles and all from different areas and topics DURING THE DAY! All articles in one cliche (3-4 thousand characters) from one AI!
Haven't you been counted as "Fisherman", "Military Informant", "Two Moyors", etc. yet?
Oh well, the AI ​​knows its stuff - it will retell the original and stuff it with so many newsworthy events that the devil won't be able to find the ends.

Are you jealous? I work in tech and actively use AI for both data collection and calculations (despite my advanced age). Productivity really does increase by an order of magnitude! So learn the math... pardon me... learn how to work with AI, or you'll be left behind!

You've signed up to be Volodin's lawyer, I take it? You should have read Volodin a few years ago; believe me, you'd be surprised by his original articles, albeit on various topics. Now I see a faceless stream of AI-powered news recounted and rephrased.
I'm certainly happy for you that you use AI "despite your considerable age," but I certainly don't visit a specialized analytics site with a pretentious name like "Military Review" to scroll through a deluge of AI-inflated information into supposedly 3-4-character articles—the ultimate limit for a typical omnivorous visitor. The pursuit of traffic (visits) and SEO (search engine visibility) by mashing together everything from all continents and disparate topics in order to get into search results at any cost has completely devalued this platform, which positions itself as a specialized analytics project.
PS
Your minus is not mine.

I assume that if someone isn't satisfied with the quality of a particular author's articles, they can ignore them. I don't know who's responsible for the overall quality of the site. Do the sites have editors? Or is it just the admins?

Interesting government in Estonia
It assumes that we will continue to engage in self-harm just so that Russia doesn’t benefit from something.
This is a very, very selfless policy in the opinion of the rest of the EU
Then, somehow, disabled Estonia will even be awarded an honorary diploma for such valor, unlike the renegade Latvia, which showed cowardice and faintheartedness by cutting off its own hand and gouging out its own eye for the sake of the bright ideals of Europe.

[Alexey RA]

Quote: Sergey Mitinsky

Nope. It just means they keep talking about how they self-harm. Just so no one sees what they're actually doing.
Remember the unyielding Kaja Kallas, who fought Russia in every performance? And then, in 2023, it turned out that her husband's business owned a quarter of the shares of a company that made money from deliveries to Russia.

[Pasus]

Moreover, they are against it with their mouths, but with their hands they themselves invite grain to be transported through them, this is clearly their initiative, if grain is no longer transshipped through Estonians and Latvians, their ports will simply lose a huge part, and after all, their work situation is dire now, they have to show off so much that they shout one thing and do the complete opposite, you can’t envy these weirdos.

The Baltic ports developed thanks to the transit of Russian cargo both during the Soviet era and after Perestroika, thereby making a significant contribution to the economies of those countries.
Thanks to the "wise" policies of the Baltic states, development stagnates, and then leads to a crisis in port infrastructure. This is true, given the development of Russian ports – Primorsk and then Ust-Luga.
entered into a crisis

[olboop]

The Baltic ports developed both during the Soviet period and in the post-Perestroika years, thanks to Russian cargo (oil, grain, fertilizers, etc.), making a significant contribution to the economy. Then, thanks to the "wise" policies of the Baltic states, stagnation turned into a crisis in port operations. They shot themselves in the foot. Although their cargo traffic was already largely intercepted by Primorsk and then Ust-Luga in the 21st century, they could have continued to operate, at least with Belarusian transit.

[Dedok]

But they could continue working, at least with Belarusian transit.

Belarus is one of the co-owners of the port in Klaipeda...
