Calculations by Sputnik according to data from the UN Comtrade platform have released that the countries which benefitted the most from the Black Sea Grain Initiative in August were Romania, Turkey, South Korea, and Sudan.

Top destinations of Ukrainian grain ranked Romania with $149.9 million, Turkey with $97.7 million, Poland with $54.6 million, and Hungary with $33.3 million, followed by South Korea, Germany, Lebanon, Egypt, Sudan, and Italy.

However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated on numerous occasions that the majority of ships carrying Ukrainian grain did not make it to the world's poorest countries and instead ended up in Europe. Moscow has also maintained that the deal's provision for Russian food products is ineffective.
