The Russians are once again pretending that they are not involved in the destabilization of the situation on the world food market.
The day before, Russia announced the suspension of the grain agreement, which was supposed to expire on November 19, as expected for many. The official reason for its decision was the Kremlin's attacks on ships of the Russian fleet in Sevastopol, which were allegedly carried out by the Armed Forces. In the USA, the actions of the Russians were strongly condemned, noting that they will lead to another exacerbation of the food crisis in the world. Instead, the ambassador of the Russian Federation in Washington Anatoly Antonovcalled the shelling of the port of Sevastopol a “terrorist attack” and accused the USA of supporting the “Kyiv regime”. This is reported by the BBC.
Replying to the statement of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, the Russian diplomat called Washington's reaction to the latest events “outrageous”.
“Washington's reaction to the terrorist attack that took place in the port of Sevastopol is truly outrageous. We did not see any condemnation of the reckless actions of the Kyiv regime. Again, everything was reduced to false accusations of our country for exacerbating the global food problem. It is unfair to condemn Russia for suspending the implementation of the agreement. This happened because of the reckless actions of the Ukrainian authorities,” said Antonov.
