On August 25, an online meeting was held between the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine, Oleksandr Kubrakov, and the Minister of Transport of Great Britain, Grant Shapps, during which Great Britain announced a historic agreement to share engineering expertise and provide a new support package to help rebuild Ukraine's war-damaged infrastructure.

The British Transport Minister provided more details about the previously announced GBP 10 million package of support for Ukrzaliznytsia, which includes the purchase of equipment for bridge repair and tunnel construction, as well as over 120 containers for grain transport.

These measures are vital for the recovery of Ukraine's economy, especially as it is one of the largest grain exporters in the world, and it will help reduce pressure on global food prices. The support for the Black Sea Grain Initiative will allow the safe export of grain, food products, and fertilizers from Ukraine through protected transport corridors, and to date, 721,449 tons of cargo have been exported from three Ukrainian ports thanks to this initiative.
