[RIA Novosti] The UN does not have confirmation of Ukraine's statements about the alleged theft of grain by Russia, said the representative of the secretary general of the organization Stefan Dujarric.
"We are in contact with the office of the World Food Program, they do not confirm these accusations," he said at a press conference.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that there were no problems with the export of grain from Ukraine . In addition, he called the allegations that Moscow allegedly hinders the transportation of food, a bluff. The head of state called on Kiev to clear the ports for the safe passage of ships.
Putin noted that grain can also be exported along the Danube through Romania , Hungary and Poland . The cheapest way is through Belarus , but for this you need to lift sanctions, he explained.
However, on Monday evening, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky refused to export grain through Belarus and help "friendly" neighbors.
