The United States does not believe in Russia's readiness to provide corridors in the Black Sea/Channel 24 Collage0
The US State Department does not believe Russia's statements about its readiness to provide green corridors in the Black Sea for the export of Ukrainian grain. Previously, the aggressor country seemed to allow such a possibility in exchange for the lifting of part of the sanctions against it.
State Department spokesman Ned Price spoke about the skepticism of the states on this issue at a briefing in Washington. He noted that similar empty promises have been made from Russia before.
Russia's promises are no longer believed
Ned Price recalled that Russia has been lying for months that it does not intend to unleash a full-scale war against Ukraine. Today, it is further destabilizing the global food market by continuing the war and imposing unilateral export bans, driving up food prices around the world.
We have heard empty promises from Russia before. I think we all have reason to be skeptical when we hear different promises and proposals from Russia,” a spokesman for the US State Department commented on the statement from the Kremlin.
The official stressed that the United States of America did not impose sanctions against the Russian agro-industrial sector , thereby trying to avoid a negative impact on the global food supply.
He noted that Russia is now trying to turn food and energy supplies into weapons, trying to impose its own position on the world. At the same time, Price assured that Western sanctions against Russia would remain in effect until it stops the war against Ukraine.
What kind of Kremlin statement are we talking about
The day before, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs cynically stated that they can provide “green corridors” in the Black Sea for the export of Ukrainian grain. And this is after the aggressor country itself blocked the Black Sea, stole Ukrainian food from the temporarily occupied territories and led to the threat of global famine.
At the same time, the terrorists also put forward conditions
strong> – removal of sanctions restrictions from Russia by Western countries, in particular, on the export of products and financial transactions.
Recall that Ukraine is one of the largest manufacturers of food products in the world. In particular, countries in Africa and Asia are heavily dependent on maritime exports.
