The government of France has condemned the Russian attacks on the grain infrastructure in Ukraine's Odesa region, according to a press release from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
They noted that such Russian strikes continue to pose a threat to global food security, as they systematically destroy transit and storage facilities in Ukraine, hinder grain exports, and suspend the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs also emphasized that France would take measures to strengthen global food security, which Russia actively seeks to weaken, turning it into a political weapon.
