Russia's blockade prevents food exports from Ukraine. This, in turn, threatens millions of people around the world with malnutrition and hunger.

This was reported on Twitter by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

«Ukraine is a critical source of agricultural products and a key link in the global food supply chain», Anthony Blinken said and emphasized the blockade must end.

Due to russian military aggression, six seaports cannot accept and send cargo. Only Danube ports operate normally.

Earlier it was reported that the US Navy is not going to take part in military operations in the Black Sea to unblock Ukrainian ports in cities occupied by the russian army.
