Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Moscow of blocking the export of 22m tonnes of food and has warned that an energy crisis would shortly follow a food crisis if the Russians did not remove the Black Sea ports blockade.
“Russia has blocked almost all ports and all, so to speak, maritime opportunities to export food – our grain, barley, sunflower and more. A lot of things,” Zelenskyy said. “There will be a crisis in the world. The second crisis was after the energy one, which was provoked by Russia. Now it will create a food crisis if we do not unblock the routes for Ukraine, do not help the countries of Africa, Europe, Asia, which need these food products.”
