KIEV, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- Ukraine plans to export its goods via new routes along the Danube River due to blockade of cargo transportation on the border with Poland, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported Thursday, citing Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov.
The first container loaded with Ukrainian goods will be transported along an alternative Danube route to the Romanian port of Constanta in the coming days, Kubrakov said.
Besides, Ukraine plans to start the delivery of goods bypassing Poland via the Danube to the ports of Germany and Austria, he added.
Polish farmers have been protesting on the border against low-cost grain imports from Ukraine to the European Union since February. The protest has disrupted the passage of cargo trucks across the border. ■
