EU: Russia is directly responsible for any shortages in grains
The EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell said that Russia is directly responsible for any shortages in international trade in grains.
“Russia’s ongoing blockade of Ukraine’s ports is preventing the export of tons of grain, like corn and wheat, currently trapped in Ukraine, one of the main world producers,” Borell said on Twitter.
“Russia is directly responsible for any shortages in international trade in grains, and instead of ending its aggression, is actively seeking to transfer responsibility on international sanctions. This is disinformation,” Borrell emphasized.
Borrell said that “the EU will continue to show its full solidarity with countries around the world in addressing the war consequences.”
He also called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end “his war against Ukraine”. (ILKHA)
