Ukraine continues to support the people of Sudan even while resisting Russian aggression itself. This is our main principle: we do not only seek aid from the world but also help others in this world."
Previously, the Cabinet of Ministers allocated UAH 80 million (US$ 2 million) to 11,000 tonnes of Ukrainian grain for the Republic of Sudan in order to hand it over to UN food programmes.
"Food security is an important component of Ukraine’s Peace Formula since we consider it one of the main principles of global stability. We urge all countries to join the process of implementation of the Peace Formula and participate in the future Peace Summit in Switzerland.
We also call on all countries to condemn Russia’s terrorist attacks on Ukrainian agriculture, port infrastructure and the freedom of navigation in the Black Sea," Zelenskyy stressed.
He added that Russian strikes have damaged or destroyed 215 port infrastructure facilities in Odesa Oblast.
