U.N. chief urges more effort to ensure access to Ukrainian grain
Aug, 19, 2022 Posted by Gabriel MalheirosWeek 202233
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday, August 19, there was still much more to do to ensure full global access to Ukrainian grain products and Russian food and fertilizers after a U.N.-brokered food export deal.
At a briefing in Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Odesa, Guterres said developing countries needed help to purchase such grain and called for unimpeded access to global markets for Russian food and fertilizers, which are not subject to sanctions.
“This is an agreement between two parties locked in bitter conflict. It is unprecedented in scope and scale. But there is still a long way to go on many fronts,” he said.
“It is time for massive and generous support so developing countries can purchase the food from this and other ports – and people can buy it,” he said.
