High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, 19 September:
💬 Look at the statistics: two thirds of the Ukrainian exports have gone to Africa, to the Middle East and Asia.
#FACTS:
According to the data of the Joint Coordination Center (JCC), as of September 21 this year, only 5 out of 185 vessels with Ukrainian grains and other food products were directed to the countries in most need according to the UN classification of Sub-Saharan Africa:
🇩🇯 Djibouti,
🇰🇪 Kenya,
🇸🇴 Somalia,
🇸🇩 Sudan.
Another 3 vessels head towards countries at risk of food shortages in the Middle East and Asia (🇾🇪Yemen and 🇧🇩Bangladesh).
According to the JCC, 93 of the 185 vessels mentioned were heading for the EU. The EU accounts for about 40% of the total shipments.
👉 So it is the EU, not the world's poorest countries, which is the biggest beneficiary of the Ukrainian grain export deal.

President of the European Council Charles Michel, September 20:
💬 Another priority is to tackle the shortage of fertilisers. We need to develop capacities for production, especially in Africa.
#FACTS:
By its rash energy policy and unilateral sanctions against Russia and Belarus, the European Union itself provoked the global shortage of fertilisers.
👉 It turned out to become far more complicated for the Russian supplies of fertilizers to carry on because of the payment problems created by the EU sanctions and logistics.
👉 Serious constraints for the supplies of Russian fertilisers to the third countries were created by the EU target (personal) sanctions against shareholders and management of Russian manufacturers and exporters of such products.
👉 The export of Russian potash fertilisers to the world market is extremely hampered by direct EU restrictions. The reason is the ban on transit through the EU ports.
