The US president said that the Russians are again trying to deepen the food crisis in the world.
The day before, Russia quite expectedly announced the suspension of the grain agreement, which caused condemnation from the international community. US President Joe Biden became one of those who strongly condemned the actions of the Kremlin, who called Putin's decision “outrageous”. His words are reported by Reuters.
The head of the White House told reporters during a visit to the state of Delaware that the actions of the Russians have no justification and doom millions of people to a food crisis.
“This is simply outrageous. This will increase world hunger. I see no excuses for what they are doing. A corresponding agreement was signed with the UN and this should be the end of it,” said Biden.
The position of the US president was also supported in the National Security Council. Its spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said that such a move by Russia is the use of a “food weapon”.
“Any talk by Russia of disrupting this critical grain export is essentially a statement that people and families around the world must pay more for food or starve,” Watson said.
