French Foreign Minister: Over half of Ukrainian grain required for world food security exported via mainland corridor
Europe continues to import Ukrainian grain through the land corridor, and russia should reconsider its decision to withdraw from the "grain deal", stated the French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Catherine Colonna.
"For its part, Europe continues its "corridors of solidarity" across the continent. More than half of the Ukrainian grain needed for the world's food security left Ukraine in this way," Catherine Colonna wrote on Twitter.
"By withdrawing from the grain deal, russia is aggravating the global food crisis caused by its aggression against Ukraine. It should reconsider this decision, which has grave consequences," notes Catherine Colonna.
Today, October 31, twelve vessels bound for the countries of Africa, Asia and Europe departed the ports of Big Odesa despite russia's withdrawal from the "grain deal". They were loaded with 354.5 thou. t of agri-food commodities.
