Russia is obliged to stop blocking the supply of Ukrainian wheat, stresses the European Union.
Russia is obliged to remove the blockade of grain supplies from Ukraine, because it is a matter of life and death “for many people.” This was stated by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell before the meeting of European foreign ministers in Brussels, CNN reports.
“Russia’s solution to the blockade of Ukrainian grain supplies is a matter of life and death for many people. Russia must lift the blockade and allow the export of Ukrainian grain,” he said.
The parties plan to meet in Brussels to discuss:
-
war in Ukraine;
-
sanctions against Russia;
-
increasing military support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On Wednesday, July 20, the EU Commission will raise the issue of gas supplies and the union’s reliance on Russia’s energy resources.
Borrell also added that the EU will not stop supporting Ukraine and imposing sanctions against Russia despite the risks to its energy supply.
Recall, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that negotiations on the unblocking of Ukrainian ports are in the final stages.
Earlier it was reported that plans to restore the export of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea provide partial demining of Ukraine’s ports and approach to them, a ceasefire for the passage of caravans of ship with grain.
