Russia has blocked millions of tons of grain in Ukraine's ports – Shmygal

This could cause a food crisis in Europe, Africa, Asia and Ukraine itself.

Russia has blocked about 90 million tons in Ukrainian ports grain that was to be exported and that many countries were counting on . This was stated at a briefing during a visit to Poland by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal, according to the Glavkom. 90 million tons of our grain are blocked, “said the Prime Minister.

By such actions, Russia is pushing Europe, Africa and Asia into a food crisis. And in Ukraine, the occupiers are creating a shortage of cereals by shelling grain warehouses.

Since the beginning of the war, the Russian army has destroyed the six largest elevators in Ukraine, and in the temporarily occupied territories is looting farmers and taking away property.

Shmygal called on the world community to influence Russia and create humanitarian corridors to supply grain and food those countries that are eagerly awaiting these products.
