Zelensky asks for help to resume trade: No port operates in Odessa

Politicians are already discussing the possible consequences of the price crisis and the famine in Africa and Asia. This is a direct consequence of Russian aggression, which can only be overcome together – by all Europeans, by the whole free world. It can be overcome by putting pressure on Russia, effectively forcing Russia to stop this shameful war,” Volodymyr Zelensky added.
