Agrifood trade and EU sanctions adopted further to the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and the support of Belarus to it
- Contrary to Russia’s disinformation, the disruption of agricultural production and trade in Ukraine and the spike in global food prices is not caused by EU sanctions - but the very own actions of the Russian Government, such as:
- the blockage of Ukrainian ports;
- the deliberate destruction of Ukrainian agricultural facilities; and
- restrictions imposed on its own export of agricultural products and fertilisers.
- Russia should put an end to these actions as this will immediately resolve the looming food crisis.
