French president Emmanuel Macron and German chancellor Olaf Scholz urged Russian president Vladimir Putin to lift the blockade on Ukrainian grain in order to mitigate the growing global food crisis.

In an 80-minute phone call on Saturday, Macron and Scholz asked Putin to lift Russia’s blockade of the port city of Odesa in order to allow Ukrainian wheat and other foodstuffs to once again flow from the Black Sea to countries dependent on the grain.

Mr Putin, claimed in the phone call that the grain shipments were being prevented by “an erroneous economic and financial policy of Western countries, as well as by the anti-Russian sanctions,” despite there being no sanctions levied against Ukrainian food or fertiliser as has been put in place against Russian exports.

The magazine noted that this is “equivalent to the annual consumption of all of the world’s least developed countries” combined.
