Johnson and Erdogan agreed to cooperate in unlocking grain supplies from Ukraine

“They (Johnson and Erdogan. -

) agreed to work together to unblock vital supply routes for Ukrainian grain stocks and ease the increase in world food prices,” the British Prime Minister’s office said in a statement.

EU diplomat Josep Borrell said earlier that the European Union would help Ukraine empty its grain storage facilities to, he said, make room for a new crop.

On May 9, TV channel Das Erste reported that German food associations had warned of the risk of food shortages due to rising prices.

Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya reported Russia's suspicions that Ukrainian grain exports are not going to needy countries, but to the storage facilities of European states.
