Russian Foreign Ministry: Western sanctions still hinder the export of Russian agricultural products and fertilizers

This is stated on the website of the department.

“Despite the statements made by Washington and Brussels that anti-Russian sanctions do not apply to food and fertilizers, the blocking obstacles that have arisen as a result of their introduction with banking, insurance and cargo transportation still remain,” the Foreign Ministry stressed.

Earlier, the head of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Igor Kostyukov, during the Moscow Conference on International Security, said that the West was provoking a food crisis with anti-Russian sanctions that violated the well-established mechanisms for the supply of grain and fertilizers.
