Here we see the proof of the attacks of Russia’s Putin against the infrastructure of the Ukrainian ports as a way of creating hunger in the world trying to block exports of Ukrainian grain.

Just yesterday night 9 drones fell on the port killing people, destroying stocks of grain and damaging the port infrastructure.

The [EU] Solidarity Lanes are taking the role of exporting grain from Ukraine. Thanks to the Solidarity Lanes, by train, we have managed to [support] export of more than 50 million tons. With the previous agreement, with the Black Sea Grain Initiative, about 30 million tons were exported and now this way is cut [off]. And it means that many people around the world will suffer hunger, because if these tons of grain cannot go out of Ukrainian ports, somewhere else in the world [people will not have food] to eat.  And this happens mainly in the most vulnerable countries around the world.

So, we have to continue supporting Ukraine, providing other ways of exporting their grain, because Russia by doing that, not only uses hunger as a weapon, it earns a lot of money, it makes the price to go up and makes more revenue from their export. It's also economical - trying to substitute Ukraine as a grain exporter and taking a bigger share of the world market of grain.

Despite of all of that, Ukraine continues being the biggest provider of grain to the World Food Program, and that is another reason to continue supporting Ukraine.

Here we can see the port infrastructure being damaged. More than 20 people have been killed. Every night there is an attack. It's still a lot of infrastructure. Yes, but it's idle, the port is empty and the cranes are stopped. And this creates a big damage for the whole world, not only for the Ukrainians. And that is why we will continue supporting in Ukraine, providing assistance and opening other lanes for the Ukrainian grain to reach the world.
