File photoWASHINGTON, Jun 14 The US and the EU are planning to build temporary storage facilities on the borders of Ukraine to transport wheat, said US President Joe Biden. «We are going to build temporary storage facilities on the borders of Ukraine, including Poland,» said Biden during a speech in Philadelphia.
Kyiv admitted that they were not discussing the export of grain across the Black SeaHe noted that the implementation of this idea would take time, and they will build storage facilities to send wheat to Europe and around the world. Biden said that Ukraine has 20 million tons of grain. The UN has repeatedly stated the threat of a food crisis due to grain shortages, the West accused Russia of opposing the supply of Ukrainian grain to world markets — Moscow categorically rejected such accusations. At the same time, the Kyiv authorities themselves created many obstacles to the export of grain for export: in addition to the revealed arson of grain in the Mariupol port, Ukrainian troops carried out mining of the Black Sea, which does not allow grain to be transported to world markets by ships. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that there were problems with the export grain from Ukraine does not exist and Russia does not interfere with this. If Ukraine clears the ports, ships with grain will be able to leave without any problems, he noted. «
