“We call on Russia to unblock ports. (…) It is unbelievable that millions of tons of wheat cannot be imagined to be blocked in Ukraine, and the rest of the world is suffering from hunger,” Borrel said.
Speaking at a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Luxembourg, Borrel said Russia’s actions were a “real war crime” and he “could not imagine it lasting much longer”.
