Hungary will continue to allow transit of Ukrainian grain, ensuring the departure of such shipments 'in a controlled manner,' its agriculture minister, Istvan Nagy, told state news agency MTI after talks in Brussels.

Nagy was also cited by MTI late on Wednesday as saying that talks were underway about further products that could fall under a current import ban, in addition to wheat, maize, rapeseed and sunflower. This followed Poland and Hungary last weekend banning some imports from Ukraine. Other eastern European countries said they were considering similar action.
An EU official said this would only allow the grains to enter the five countries from Ukraine if they were set for export to other EU members or to the rest of the world. This measure would last until the end of June.
