Responding directly to Russian disinformation, I stressed that EU sanctions do not cause food shortages.
They target Russia’s ability to finance the war, not the conduct of legitimate trade and transportation of agricultural goods or the payment for such Russian exports.

The EU will continue supporting those most affected by the global food crisis. EU sanctions have clear exemptions in regard to agricultural products and fertilisers. Protection of intl markets requires cooperation from all. @UN efforts at the centre of the international response.

Met with @RGrynspan this morning. Working hand in glove with @UN in its efforts to lift Russian blockages to Ukrainian grain exports.

Really regret that due to COVID-19 isolation I can not take part in person in @EU_ISS Annual Conference, marking its 20th anniversary.
EUISS is vital in analysing foreign and security policy issues and ideal place to discuss global ramifications of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Every human being has the right to access safe food, the first source of life and instrumental to global health.
As EU we act decisively for this right and to address humanitarian needs, including those provoked by Russia's shameful choice to weaponise food.

Wars of aggression cannot be permitted. EU sanctions target Russia’s capacity to continue with the war. They do not target wheat. Agriculture products and their transport are explicitly excluded. (1/5)

100 days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 100 days of EU strongly supporting Ukraine
