European Truth shared the news with reference to CNN.

"Plan B involves road and rail and river and sending in barges and adjusting the rail systems so that they're better aligned with those in Europe so that the exports can move out more quickly," Power said.

She also added that the plan is in place in case of unforeseen emergencies because "there's no way you can trust anything that [Russian President] Vladimir Putin says."

Power expressed hope that the grain deal would survive despite Russia's move to "immediately turn its back" from it after the occupying country bombed the port.
