Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused London of seeking pretexts for the British Royal Navy to penetrate the Black Sea and become responsible for the processes of releasing wheat from Ukrainian ports.
" This food crisis is used for a number of purposes, not only in the field of propaganda, to whitewash Ukraine and hang all the dogs again, pardon the rude expression, for Moscow. Even if you listen, for example, Boris Johnson's statement and his Foreign Minister, are clearly trying to create conditions, to find pretexts for the Royal Navy to penetrate the Black Sea and begin to manage almost all the processes of releasing grain from those ports that have been mined by the Ukrainians and that the Ukrainians are forced to mine ," Lavrov said during an interview on Russia 1 TV channel. "Ria Novosti" reports.
