Only unblocking Ukrainian Black Sea ports is the best way to prevent global famine, says UN humanitarian aid coordinator Martin Griffiths
Grain exports across the Danube – the Black Sea – are important, but not enough to prevent world hunger. This requires unblocking Ukrainian ports. About that saying goodbye UN Humanitarian Coordinator Martin Griffiths on Twitter.
Griffiths said he was inspired by the news that it was possible to use the mouth of the Danube for the export of agricultural products, but he considered it not enough to overcome the threat of world hunger. He stressed that only unblocking Ukrainian Black Sea ports is the best way to prevent global famine.
“Reports encourage the resumption of Ukrainian grain exports via the Black Sea-Danube canal. But it is not enough. As food uncertainty becomes more apparent around the world, the opening of the The Black Sea is our best option to overcome global hunger. The world can’t wait, “commented Martin Griffiths.
Recall that the use of the Bystry Estuary Canal became possible thanks to the liberation of Zmeiny Island from invaders.
In late June, the Armed Forces of Ukraine forced the Russian occupiers to leave Zmeiny Island with a series of powerful strikes.
The destruction of approximately 30 units of enemy equipment was confirmed, abandoned ammunition and solid rubble were found, as a familiar trace of the “Russian world”
