The president of Ukraine has issued a warning that the withdrawal of Russia from the grain deal in the Black Sea will lead to future international crises.
“Last year, we were able to stop a price catastrophe in the global food market thanks to our Black Sea Grain Initiative,” President Volodymyr Zelensky stated in his evening address on Tuesday that political and migration crises would have unavoidably followed a price explosion, especially in African and Asian nations.
Numerous nations will be affected, he claimed, and Ukraine is “working without partners to prevent this.” On Monday, Russia backed out of the agreement.
Ukraine is developing options for action and agreements “to preserve Ukraine’s global role as a guarantor of food security, our maritime access to the global market, and jobs for Ukrainians in ports and the agricultural industry,” he said, adding Kyiv is “fighting for global security and for our Ukrainian farmers.”
