Russia blockading Ukrainian grain is a 'real war crime' - EU

Russia's blockade of millions of tonnes of Ukrainian grain is a "real war crime", says EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.

"It is inconceivable - one cannot imagine that millions of tonnes of wheat remain blocked in Ukraine while in the rest of the world, people are suffering hunger," Mr Borrell said.

"We call on Russia to deblockade the Ukrainian ports."

EU foreign ministers met in Luxembourg on Monday to discuss the crisis.

Western countries have demanded Russia stop blockading Ukraine's Black Sea ports and allow vast stores of grain to reach world markets.

The blockade has sparked warnings that tens of millions of people are at risk of famine and sent food prices soaring.
