Since July, grain exports through the EU-Ukraine Solidarity Lanes rose by almost 2 million tonnes.

• The exact figure (almost 2 million tonnes) appears in the reporting of Kallas's own statement (EUnews, 20 October 2026); no accessible primary Commission table with the precise July-to-October Solidarity Lanes grain delta was found, so the figure is corroborated by the Commission's cumulative data trend rather than by a directly matching published statistic.
• The Commission's headline figures combine the Solidarity Lanes with the Ukrainian deep-sea corridor (Solidarity Lanes ~40% of cumulative grain/oilseeds exports), so a small part of the July–September increase is attributable to routes outside the Solidarity Lanes.
• The Commission's September 2026 figures were published on 19 October 2026, one day before the session; earlier vintages (e.g. the July 2026 release of 19 August 2026) would have given the speaker a slightly lower baseline.
