Russian Embassy in Washington: US exploits Ukrainian grain file to keep Russia away from global market

Washington, SANA- The Russian embassy in Washington has considered that the US accusations against Russia of obstructing the export of agricultural products from Ukraine are not true and aim to redistribute the agricultural trade market in the world and remove Russia from it.

“The US allegations that Russia is hindering the export of agricultural products from Ukraine by sea are beyond any criticism,” it stressed in a statement quoted by Novosti Agency. “Our country in no way is hindering export. Responsibility rests on Kiev authorities, who have mined the Black Sea waters.”

The statement added, “We consider such American accusations as evidence of the United States’ efforts to redistribute the agricultural trade market in the world and try to exclude Russia from the field of food trade.”

“Washington is extensively using illegitimate unilateral sanctions called to block our country’s trade and economic cooperation with the rest of the world. It is set to continue to break supply chains. The result is that importer states are having serious problems with deliveries of agricultural products,” according to the statement.
