“Russia’s guilt over the global food crisis has been discussed at the meeting. G7 foreign ministers have made it clear that Russia’s war against Ukraine is exacerbating food insecurity, including by blocking the Black Sea, bombing granaries and ports and damaging Ukraine’s agricultural infrastructure.”
“They expressed their support for UN efforts to urgently open the Black Sea route for grain and the European Commission’s Action Plan for EU-Ukraine Solidarity Lanes for the transport of grain by road, rail and barge transport to world markets, to which the G7 countries are actively contributing.”
The G7 foreign ministers also reiterated their unwavering support for Ukraine, including military and defense assistance as needed. They pledged humanitarian assistance, reconstruction and stabilization support for Ukraine, and increased resilience to neighboring countries, especially the Republic of Moldova which was the most affected by the influx of Ukrainian refugees.
