UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday that he is in “intense contact” with Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, the United States and the European Union in an effort to restore Ukrainian grain export as a global food crisis worsens.

“I am hopeful, but there is still a way to go,” said Guterres, who visited Moscow and Kyiv late last month.Addressing a food security meeting at the United Nations hosted by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Guterres appealed to Russia to allow “the safe and secure export of grain stored in Ukrainian ports” and for Russian food and fertilizers to “have full and unrestricted access to world markets.

Ukraine used to export most of its goods through seaports but since Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion, it has been forced to export by train or via its small Danube River ports. “There are an estimated 22 million tons of grain sitting in silos in Ukraine right now. Food that could immediately go toward helping those in need if it can simply get out of the country,” Blinken said.
