European leaders and foreign ministers have strongly condemned Russia's withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative, stressing that this is an attempt to use the food issue as a weapon. Source: European Pravda Details: President of Latvia Edgars Rinkevics stressed that Russia's withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative and the attack on Odesa Oblast and the port of Odesa are further evidence that Russia is trying to use the food issue as a weapon. "Russia bears full responsibility for all the consequences of these actions," the president tweeted.
Russia's withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative and last night's bombing of Odessa region, including the port, is another proof of the Russian criminal tactic to weaponise the food

Att Ryssland drar sig ur Svarta Havs-avtalet om spannmalsutforsel och samtidigt bombar hamnen i Odessa ar ett tydligt bevis pa hur Ryssland forvandlar livsmedel till ett vapen - riktat mot varldens fattiga lander.
Upp till kamp mot denna skurkstat!
Slava Ukraini! ?????
