The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that the need to remove the sanctions against Russia is necessary to solve the issue of food security, stressed Alexander Grushko. According to him, the West rejects the Russian Federation for undermining the system, while the country makes a decisive contribution to ensuring this security, TASS reports. Groshko recalled that all the initiatives put forward in the past to supply grain beyond the Black Sea were of a palliative nature. "There is a need for a lasting arrangement around Ukraine, then the security of the sea lanes will be guaranteed," said the deputy head of the department.
