Russia says it is ready to "fully replace" Ukrainian grain on the global market - the Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation

Dmitry Patrushev claims that the country is ready to supply "all interested countries at reasonable prices".

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba reacted to this statement and called it "hungry PR".

Kuleba notes that Russia is most likely going to supply grain stolen from Ukraine. Also, having destroyed the grain corridor, Russia blocks two million tons of grain for Algeria, Yemen, Vietnam, Bangladesh and other countries.

The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry also reacted to Russia's blocking of ships with Ukrainian agricultural products and called for military escort for ships with grain.
