“Russia continues weaponizing food. By terminating the agreements, Russia is single-handedly blocking one of the crucial main export routes from Ukraine of grains for human consumption and is solely responsible for disruptions of grain deliveries worldwide and fueling food price inflation globally. The EU will spare no efforts to continue to support the timely and stable delivery of all goods, especially agricultural products, to global markets through EU-Ukraine “Solidarity Lanes”. The EU will continue to work with affected partner countries in its comprehensive Team Europe response to address global food insecurity,” the statement reads.
