The Ukrainian authorities “are evading interaction with representatives of foreign successor states in resolving the issue of the safe exit of blocked vessels to the collection area,” the non-prominent assures.
He also noted that the world has long been suffering from the food crisis due to the inflationary spiral caused by the growth of insurance, logistics problems and speculations in the western markets. Western sanctions against Russia exacerbate the food situation in the world, added a non -enzyme.
