Russia is ready to quickly replenish lost amounts of food if necessary The Russian side is ready to immediately replenish the decreasing amounts of food, if the need arises, said the spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, in response to a media question "about the real threats to freedom of civil navigation and global food security." "We also emphasize that Russia is ready to immediately replenish the decreasing amounts of food, if the need arises," she said. "The ideas voiced today about the normalization of navigation in the Black Sea miss the point: the current difficulties in the field of food security are a direct result of the actions of Kiev, whose permissiveness and lack of punishment are the result of irresponsible policies of the West." "The main reasons for the problems that have arisen in the global food market are hypocritically suppressed, especially the logistical barriers created by the European Union and the so-called sanctions against our economic entities and operators in the agricultural sector," Zakharova emphasized. "We are convinced that at this stage the most effective priority measure would be to exert collective international pressure on Kyiv as the main cause of trouble.
