Once again, everyone was convinced that there is only one threat to global food security in our region, and this is the Russian Federation, no one else. The whole situation has immediately affected the exchanges - we see some cheaper both about wheat and corn. Each time, when Russian blackmail is activated, food is more expensive. And every time the world is not amenable to blackmail, agricultural products are cheaper.
And if there was no Russian attack on Ukraine, there would be no ghostly threat to the global food crisis. Because every Russian rocket, which hits our ports, on grain elevators, by power plants that feed our agricultural production, eventually beaten by the standard of living of tens of millions of people in many countries. This is Egypt, Algeria, Somali, Sudan, Lebanon, Bangladesh, India, China, Indonesia, Vietnam . . .
This year they have overpaid tens of billions of dollars for food - and only in Russian fault, only through crazy Russian aggression that destabilizes International trade. Today I spoke with President Erdogan, including the safety of the grain corridor and the Black Sea in general, about the work of the Crimean platform, the return of Ukrainian prisoners of war and political prisoners - we will remember everyone and everyone who is in captivity.
They also spoke in detail about the constant Russian provocations, about Iranian drones, about rocket strikes of the Russian army. For example, this morning, a Russian aircraft launched a winged missile near the snake, and they actually flew through the routes of the grain corridor. And every such Russian launch - and they are almost daily - directly threatens food exports. And this is the responsibility of partners to work together to reduce the Russian threat.
Today the Supreme Commander -in -Chief. The agenda is quite obvious. This is the situation on the forefront, in particular in Donetsk region, where the most severe battles continue. By the way, I would like to mention the soldiers of the 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade and the 79th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade for the stability of the enemy's attacks there, in Donetsk region. It is especially difficult there - dozens of Russian attacks every day.
Our boys stand firmly and do not take a single centimeter. This is a real heroism. And I thank everyone who protects our Donetsk region! Of course, they considered the situation on the rate in other areas: Kharkiv, Luhansk, south of the country, the situation on our borders. We strengthen the position everywhere and work for a key purpose - the complete liberation of all Ukrainian land. He negotiated with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Spain - he was in Ukraine today.
He thanked Spain for a new defense package for our country. They discussed that it could further strengthen our protection. In particular, we work with Spain to really provide an air shield for Ukraine. And it is very nice that today the new ambassador of our charitable platform United24 has become a well -known and talented historian Timothy Snyder. His name in Ukraine is well known.
He is one of those who invariably protects the historical truth about Ukrainians and explains the world why Ukraine is important. Now Mr Snyder has joined the fundraising to strengthen our anti -exterior defense, and he will focus on the Shakshamed Catch project. I am sure that when we will provide Ukraine with reliable protection against this community - Russian and Iranian regimes - it will be one of the strongest pages of our state history. And one more thing I would like to pay attention to.
You have probably heard today that the Kremlin says that they demanded security guarantees from Ukraine. It is necessary to stop for a moment to think about their statements. 252 days ago, Russia demanded security guarantees from the United States. After eight months, the Russian so -called "special operation" in the Kremlin requires safety guarantees from Ukraine. These are actually striking changes. This also shows the failure of Russian aggression and how strong we are when we keep unity.
