The Ukrainian ambassador to Serbia, Volodymyr Tolkach, said in Belgrade, on July 31, that Russia’s decision to pull out of a deal that permitted the expert of Ukrainian grain, might be good for Serbia, because “Serbian grain, which is considerably more expensive that Ukraine’s, has already found its buyers.”
The diplomat described Russia’s decision to suspend its participation in the important U.N.-backed deal as “an artificially created food crisis, which has already produced price jumps and hunger in poor states already.”
Tolkach underlined that even before the corridor was opened for grain exports from his war-affected country, Russia had worked on the withdrawal of Ukraine from the grain market.
The Ukrainian ambassador invited Serbia to participate in the next Crimea Platform summit and in President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s peace plan.
“As Serbia and Ukraine are on the same path to the European Union, and to a new life in the European family of nations, in which human rights will be respected, our states can help each other in many areas. We can propose to Serbia to take part in major initiatives and events Ukraine is organising,” the diplomat said.
