Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has called on Russia to comply with its obligations under the agreement on Ukrainian grain exports across the Black Sea. “Millions of people are starving around the world and Russia is once again compromising the safety of grain ships. That has to stop,” said the Greens politician on Sunday in Berlin. “Whether families in Lebanon, Niger or Bangladesh can pay for their next meal must not depend on the Russian president’s war plans.”
Baerbock pointed out that Dozens of ships are currently on their way to bring grain from Ukraine to other countries. “We call on Russia not to endanger the safety of these ships and to keep its promises to the international community again.” Ukraine.
Putin emphasizes that he is not only attacking the people of Ukraine, but the entire international community, Baerbock said in an interview with the ARD program “Report from Berlin”. The suspension of grain deliveries means “that this war is being expanded again and again to countries like Somalia, Libya and other regions of the worldbecause the people there have already suffered massively over the past few months from the fact that grain from the Ukraine could not get into the world, so they had to suffer from hunger”.
