Britain and the US rejected the proposal of the aggressor countries/zaborona.com
Russia cynically stated that they could provide green corridors for the export of Ukrainian grain in exchange for easing sanctions.
At the same time, Britain and the United States rejected this proposal of the aggressor country, Channel 24 reports.
In particular, US State Department spokesman Ned Price assured that the United States rejects Russia's proposals to lift sanctions in exchange for unblocking access to Ukrainian ports.
Of course, we will not remove sanctions in response to empty promises. We have heard Russia's empty promises before. I think we have reason to be skeptical when we've heard various promises and proposals from Russia,” Price explained.
The U.S. says Russia's drive to weaponize food and energy is terrible.

Rising commodity prices, rising food prices around the world, and the end of the Russian blockade of Ukraine's ports can only be solved by Russia ending its brutal war against Ukraine, Price said. and rejected Russia's claim that the food crisis caused sanctions against the aggressor country.
The UK is also not ready to succumb to Russian blackmail
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace rejected Russia's proposal to ease sanctions against the Kremlin in exchange for a corridor for grain exports from Ukraine.
Wallace urged Russia to allow Ukraine to export grain to help those countries where grain shortages could provoke famine.< /p>
I urge Russia to do the right thing – to enable Ukraine to export grain and stop stealing it. We will not talk about sanctions, but we will do the right thing,” Wallace said.
The Minister of Defense also welcomed the offer of other Black Sea countries, in particular Turkey, to accompany grain supplies from Ukraine.
Recall that that on May 25, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that they were ready to provide a humanitarian corridor for the export of Ukrainian crops through the Black Sea – in exchange for the lifting of sanctions and “Ukraine's demining” of the Black Sea, which Russia itself replaced in the first month of a full-scale invasion.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that Moscow is using food security issues as a weapon.
