EU: Shelling of ships with Ukrainian grain exposes the true intentions of the Kremlin.

The European Union's foreign policy service representative Peter Stano stated that Russia is attacking ships carrying Ukrainian grain in the Black Sea with the aim of destabilizing the situation on the global food market. He pointed out that Russia has intensified attacks on civilian ships carrying Ukrainian grain, which threatens global food security and freedom of navigation. In particular, two vessels were attacked by ballistic missiles in the port of Odessa, resulting in casualties among people.

Stano emphasized that Russia's attacks on Ukraine's shipping and grain storage are violations of international law that must be stopped immediately. These actions by Russia threaten the food security of millions of people, especially in Asian and African countries. He also highlighted that this shows Russia's determination to weaponize food.

Stano called on all countries to condemn Russia's attacks on freedom of navigation and food security and to exert pressure on Russia to stop these attacks and illegal aggression against Ukraine.
