Lavrov: Abuse of food by Washington and its allies is inhumane

According to the International Economic Group of Fars News Agency, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov emphasized that the United States and the European Union stopped blocking access to food agreements, which is encouraging.

On Friday, an agreement was reached in Istanbul with the presence of Russian and Ukrainian delegations under the supervision of the United Nations and with the mediation of Turkey, during which Ukrainian grain will be exported under the supervision of the United Nations and with the mediation of Turkey.

Lavrov stressed that the use of food by the US and its allies for geopolitical adventures is unacceptable and inhumane.

He continued: The signing of the memorandum between Russia and the United Nations once again confirms that the West’s attempt to blame Russia for the problems of grain supply to the world markets is fake and untrue.

The Russian Foreign Minister emphasized that Moscow will continue its commitments in this field to ensure food security.

He added: We expect that all necessary efforts will be made for the effective implementation of these agreements in the coming period.

Western countries have repeatedly blamed Moscow for closing Ukrainian ports and making it impossible to send Ukrainian grain. Moscow has also responded, if Kiev clears its ports of mines, it will guarantee the safe passage of grain shipments.

Ukraine is one of the major producers of agricultural products, which cannot export its grain since the conflict with Russia, and about 22 to 25 million tons of grain are currently stuck in the country’s ports.

In early June, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a telephone conversation with the leaders of France and Germany on Saturday that “Russia is willing to discuss ways to enable the resumption of Ukrainian grain shipments from Black Sea ports.” and speak”.

Russia and Ukraine supply almost a third of the world’s wheat, while Russia is the main exporter of chemical fertilizers and Ukraine is the world’s largest exporter of corn and sunflower oil.
