The Ukrainian president claims that while there are treaties prohibiting the use of weapons, there are no actual limitations on the weaponization of everyday items like bread.
“Since the start of the full-scale war, Russia has blocked the Ukrainian ports,” he claims. “Our ports on the Danube River remain a target for missiles and drones.”
Zelensky claims that Russia is pressuring other nations to recognise seized Ukrainian territory as Russian by exploiting food supply, and he thanks those nations for purchasing Ukrainian grain to thwart these efforts.
