Fighting the EU's «fakes»
#QUOTE1
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.
