The Russian Foreign Ministry has denied accusations against Russia of interfering with the export of Ukrainian grain, RIA Novosti reports. The Western countries are trying to present the situation in such a way that Russian troops have blocked Ukrainian ports, so Ukraine cannot export grain. As a result, there was a deficit in the grain market.
The MFA stressed that the difficulties arose because of Kiev actions. Grain cannot be taken out because the Ukrainian troops mined the water area of their seaports.
The MFA's spokesperson Maria Zakharova recalled that the Russian side regularly opens humanitarian corridors at sea for the passage of ships.
The Russian Foreign Ministry also called the accusations of undermining world food security, which are constantly voiced by representatives of the American establishment, unfriendly. These statements were made at the Food Security Conference held two days ago in New York.
Such anti-Russian calls have long been no surprise, as the collective West seeks to "lay all the world's problems on Russia," the Foreign Ministry explained.
Moscow denies accusations of using "hunger as a weapon," the Foreign Ministry said. Russia continues to supply food as part of its obligations and as humanitarian aid to people in countries in need.
