“Russia must stop playing with hunger in the world,” said French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna.
The French Prime Minister added that Russia “must end the blockade of Ukrainian ports and stop destroying the country’s storage infrastructure.”
Holding grain is dangerous for stability in the world,” he added.
European ministers will begin a meeting on Monday that will include discussions about the threats to food security of the war in Ukraine, as well as the “narrative war” of the impact of the conflict.
