russia's unprovoked aggression against Ukraine will be a strategic defeat for russian president vladimir putin.

This was stated by the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen during a speech in Davos at the World Economic Forum.

"The European Union will do everything possible for Ukraine to persevere in this struggle for its own freedom and democratic future," she said.

According to Ursula von der Leyen, putin is using "hunger and grain" to gain power. That is why the EU must help Ukraine unblock trade routes and release 20 million tons of wheat "stuck in the country".

We will remind, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba called on the world community not to become accomplices of crimes of russia and to refuse any offers of the russian federation to sell the stolen grain in Ukraine.
