Russia sent grain to Morocco for the first time via the Arctic route during World War II, -. Reuters Due to the paralysis of trade across the Black Sea, Russia is looking for alternative export routes. A first batch of grain weighing 3,400 tons is loaded in the port of Murmansk. During World War II, the Allies supplied goods to the Soviet Union through this port. At the same time, the main stream of Russian grain exports moved to the ports of the Baltic Sea. In September, they processed 1.2 million tons of grain, which is more than 60% of Russia's maritime exports. Hakin.az Contact us.
