Russia's naval exercises in the Black and Azov Seas and the closure of traditional shipping routes have so far not affected the Ukrainian grain export market, traders said on Friday.
Ukraine, one of the world's leading exporters of steel, grain and sunflower oil, carries exports through ports on the Black and Azov Seas - Odessa, Pivdeny, Chornomorsk, Kherson, Mariupol and Berdyansk.
