Russia's attacks against port facilities have an impact "well beyond Ukraine," UN secretary general says
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres "strongly condemns" the Russian attacks against port facilities in Odesa and other Ukrainian Black Sea ports, a spokesperson said Thursday, SİA reports.
The attacks contradict Russia's commitments with the United Nations, which state that "the Russian Federation will facilitate the unimpeded export of food, sunflower oil and fertilizers from Ukrainian controlled Black Sea ports," Stephane Dujarric said.
"The Secretary-General also recalls that the destruction of civilian infrastructure may constitute a violation of international humanitarian law," Dujarric added.
Dujarric warned the attacks could have an impact "well beyond Ukraine" when it comes to the global prices of wheat and corn.
"For his part, the Secretary-General will not relent in his efforts to ensure that Ukrainian and Russian food and fertilizer are available on international markets as part of his ongoing efforts to fight global hunger and ensure stable food prices for consumers everywhere," Dujarric said.
