The permanent representative of the Russian Federation announced the blocking of about 60 thousand tons of fertilizers in the ports of the European Union. Products destined for African countries cannot be exported due to anti-Russian sanctions, explained the deputy permanent representative of Russia to the United Nations Anna Abstagneieva. She clarified that the products of the agrochemical complex remained in the ports of Latvia, Estonia, Belgium and the Netherlands. "Russia is ready to donate fertilizers free of charge to countries in need. Their shipment is still being prevented," Abstineva said in a commentary to RIA Novosti. She added that despite the difficulties since the introduction of the anti-Russian restrictions, it was possible to supply over 200 thousand tons of fertilizers to Kenya, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
