KYIV, Sept 7 – Ukraine has submitted to Türkiye a proposal to reopen the grain corridor without Russia, but no response has been received yet, Ukrainian Ambassador to Türkiye Vasyl Bodnar said at a press conference on Thursday.

"The proposal to work [the grain corridor] without Russia was transferred to the Turkish side. There is no final confirmation yet. But since the ships [with grain] are already sailing through the territorial waters of Romania, Bulgaria, and Türkiye and are passing straits without restrictions, this is actually a rational way," the diplomat said.
