"Russia really has the will and the solidarity to feed the population of the world. But it's very clear that the West likes to keep all these products and for business purposes, and because they're very greedy," Moncada said.
"It is very clear that it doesn't always reach the population of the world. It’s a complex theme and it should be done in a humanitarian way."
Russia, Ukraine, Turkiye and the UN reached an agreement on July 22, 2022 to provide a humanitarian maritime corridor for ships carrying food and fertilizer exports from Ukrainian Black Sea ports. On May 18, 2023, Russia extended the deal, called the Black Sea Grain Initiative, for 60 days, until July 17.
