Ukraine is a major food exporter, and the Ukraine crisis has caused concerns about lack of grain supply in the global market. Since the beginning of this month, the United Nations has conducted a series of consultations with Turkey and Russia on food exports of Ukraine. Foreign Minister Chawushu Lu recently proposed that without the mines, it can be opened to set up a safety waterway for Black Sea ports such as Odessa, Ukraine, and set up a safety waterway according to the mines. Erdogan discussed Ukraine's grain export issues with Gutrescom on the 20th.

Before Russia carried out special military operations, Ukraine's grain exports were mainly transported through the ports of the Black Sea. Because the port is currently suspended, all food cannot be shipped out. Ukraine has identified Russia to block the port of Ufang and prevent the exports of Wu Food. Russia denied the interference of Ukraine's exports and identified Ukraine to set up a large amount of mines in the Black Sea waters to endanger navigation safety. Russian President Putin said on the 3rd of this month that the issue of international food shortage has emerged as early as Russia's special military operations, and Western sanctions on Russia will only worsen the situation of international food and fertilizer supply.
