Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council (NSDC) of Ukraine, said that Ukraine will continue to do everything in its power to provide the world with food despite the threats coming from the Russian Federation.

Details: The NSDC Secretary specified that the meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff was held today for the 97th time since the beginning of the full-scale war on 24 February 2022. Today’s meeting was quite long and lasted almost three hours.

One of the key issues on the agenda was the supply of grain to the world, which Ukraine keeps under control and is not going to stop.

Danilov emphasised that there was no "agreement" with Russia, there were agreements with the UN, which is directly responsible for certain processes in connection with the UN Charter, and there were certain agreements with Türkiye, which also has access to the Black Sea.

Quote: "We couldn’t care less what [agreements - ed.] Russia withdrew from because we had no relations with them on this matter. We will do what we think is necessary, we will move ships with grain where we think it is necessary, and we will not ask anyone's permission.

The fact that a terrorist country is currently terrorising not just our country but also the whole world is more a question to the world itself: to what extent will they tolerate these atrocities committed by the Russian Federation? Whether it is flying into the territory of Poland, a NATO country, together with the Belarusians or attacking the ports of Izmail, which are actually on the border of Romania (also a NATO member-state). It's hard to say when they [the international community - ed.] will lose patience, but we'll definitely do everything in our power to make our food available to the world."
