💬 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova: Speaking about food security, I would like to recall that prices on food products and energy soared since early 2020 due to:
- coronavirus pandemic,
- bad climate conditions
- and, importantly, systemic miscalculations in the financial and economic policy of the Western countries.
This created difficulties in the world markets (higher freight and insurance rates and transport breakdowns). Transport logistics and insurance collapsed due to the pandemic. Unilateral sanctions were imposed on top of all that.
These sanctions introduced by Washington and the EU under its pressure exacerbated the situation to the utmost.
I would even call them not just unilateral sanctions but sanction harassment of our country.
The goal is obvious – to isolate and inflict maximum damage on the Russian economy and Europe.
In turn, we confirm our willingness to continue fulfilling our commitments regarding the export of grain, fertilizer, energy and other critical products.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question
Read in full
❓ What can you tell us about UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres saying on July 14 that he was shocked by a rocket fired into the city of Vinnitsa, central Ukraine?
💬 Maria #Zakharova: Indeed, this statement by Antonio Guterres has come to our attention. Here’s what I would like to say.
☝️ According to the Russian Defence Ministry, high-precision Kalibr missiles were used in Vinnitsa targeting a garrison house of officers which at that moment was housing a meeting of the Ukrainian Air Force command with representatives of foreign arms suppliers. The UN is probably aware of that. If not, then we suggest that Mr Guterres ask Ukraine why the Kiev regime is placing military facilities in close proximity to civilian buildings?
