Zelensky calls for “increasing pressure” on Russia to guarantee the export of grain
For his part, the President of Ukraine, Volodímir Zelenski, has called for intensifying pressure on Russia to prevent it from sabotaging the output of Ukrainian grain.

According to the president, the Russian attacks on infrastructure in the Ukrainian agricultural sector are a blow against Ukraine and “against all the people who want to live a normal and safe life throughout the world.”
Ukraine is one of the world’s leading exporters of grain. The food security of many countries in Africa and Asia depends to a large extent on the continued flow of grain from Ukraine.

The Ukrainian president has asked his Foreign Ministry to “intensify contacts with allies to increase pressure on the terrorist state (Russia)” so that “the export of Ukrainian grain under normal conditions” can continue.
