The US State Department: the whole world will benefit from the “grain agreement”.
US State Department Deputy Spokesman Vedant Patel said that the implementation of the “grain agreement” is a decision from which the whole world will benefit.
“The whole world benefited from the fact that Ukraine got the opportunity to deliver food to where it is needed,” Patel said in response to a russian journalist’s question whether russia would benefit from this agreement.
As Ukrinform writes, the representative of the State Department emphasized that the agreement made it possible to take measures so that grain and food would not be turned into weapons, and important food products could reach countries that need them.
“And this is another mechanism by which we prevented the “weponization” (turning into weapons) of food by Russia,” the representative of the State Department summarized.
