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.
