EThe export of Russian grain and fertilizers is still hampered by Western sanctions and threatens to turn into a global food crisis, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Vladimir Putin Grain exported from the ports of Ukraine is not delivered to the poorest countries, only four vessels out of more than 200 were used as part of the UN assistance program, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting on the progress of seasonal field work. The transcript was published by the Kremlin’s press service. “We talk about it, we talk about it all in vain, no one just hears. As of September 23, out of 203 ships that left the ports of Ukraine, only four went to the poorest countries under the United Nations program,” the president said. Video According to him, of the 46 ships sent since September 26, 14 indicated Turkey as their destination, and 25 of the remaining 32 ships went to the European Union. “Are they the poorest countries, what?»— he said. “The situation does not change here. Solid, it’s just inconvenient to say, but this is a complete fraud, and nothing more,” Putin said.
The export of grain and fertilizers is still difficult due to sanctions, which threatens to worsen the situation and the global food crisis, to which the world has been heading for several years, the president said, noting that, according to him, it has nothing to do with the Russian special operation in Ukraine.

“Some leading countries have built their policies in the field of finance and food in such a way that we are seeing the result that we have today. And the responsibility for it, finally, lies entirely with the so-called collective West,” Putin said.
In July, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the UN signed an agreement on the creation of a safe corridor for the export of grain from Ukrainian ports, and UN Secretary General Antonio Gutteris undertook to facilitate the supply of Russian food and fertilizers to world markets, which were hampered by Western sanctions.
In early September, Putin said that within the framework of the grain deal, it was necessary to limit the directions of supplies, since only 3% of agricultural products exported from Ukraine were sent to the poorest countries of the world. He compared the actions of European states with colonialists and declared the deception of developing countries. “With this approach, the scale of food problems in the world will only increase,” the president said.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with whose assistance the grain deal was concluded, agreed with the opinion of his Russian counterpart. He also advocated grain supplies from Russia, including to poor countries.
The US and the EU have imposed several packages of sanctions since the end of February, when the special operation in Ukraine began, while repeatedly stating that there are no restrictive measures on Russian food. At the same time, Western sanctions have disrupted supply chains and banned Russian ships from entering ports in Europe and the United States.
