“The European Council strongly condemns Russia’s destruction and misuse of agricultural production in Ukraine. Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has a direct impact on global security and food security. The European Council calls on Russia to stop the attacks on transport infrastructure in Ukraine and lift the blockade of Ukrainian Black Sea ports by allowing the export of food specifically from Odessa, “the document said.
The statement also says that the EU is taking active measures to promote Ukrainian agricultural exports and support the country’s agricultural sector, taking into account the 2022 season.
“In this regard, the European Council invites Member States to expedite work on the” Paths of Solidarity “proposed by the Commission, and to facilitate exports from Ukraine through various land routes and EU ports, “the message said.
In this regard, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba announced the work on creating a safe maritime corridor for Ukrainian grain.
“Russia is playing world hunger games by blocking food exports from Ukraine with one hand and trying to shift the blame to Ukraine on the other. Ensure a safe trade corridor without security threat, “he tweeted.
It should be noted that now the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia is ready to let ships with Ukrainian grain in the Mediterranean Sea without removing sanctions, but it is necessary to clear the sea area .
