The European Commission on November 25 said it will provide 50 million euros ($54 million) to Kyiv to repair and upgrade infrastructure in Ukrainian ports in an attempt to increase food exports. "Improved port capacities will speed up exports of food and other goods which Ukraine supplies to global markets," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote in a letter to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. "Over time, our investment should allow Ukraine's ports to return to export quantities that were in place before the war," she added.
