“The world is aware of the fundamental role of our maritime grain exports for food security”, says Zelensky

In his daily video address, President Zelensky returned to Ukraine’s grain exports. “The world is aware of the fundamental role of our maritime grain exports for food security,” he said. “Today I am on a work trip to our Odessa. I held a long special meeting. The region is a priority from all points of view. It is the Odessa region that is one of the pillars of security for our entire south, and therefore for the state. We also discussed in detail economic issues, employment and social security. Special attention is given to our grain corridor and security in the Black Sea. In general, security in the Black Sea, the effectiveness of international navigation law is a security factor of global importance. All the maritime countries of the world now see what could threaten their ports and water bodies if Russia gets away with blocking navigation in the Black Sea”. According to him more thousands of tons are blocked in ports. “And this grain is expected by at least ten countries, including Turkey, Egypt, Bangladesh and China. Obviously, the less food that is provided to these countries, to these regions, the higher the food prices, the more the people in these countries lose from their family budget,” he concluded.
