US will not remove Russia sanctions in exchange for unblocking Ukraine ports
Russia is accused of spreading disinformation regarding food security and the global food supply
The US on Wednesday rejected Moscow's offer to unblock Ukrainian ports in exchange for the easing of sanctions.
“We certainly won’t lift our sanctions in response to empty promises, and we’ve heard empty promises before from the Russian Federation,” US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said in a press briefing.
“I think we have – all have good reason to be skeptical when we hear various pledges and offers from Russia. This was the same country, of course, that for months maintained that it had no intention of invading its neighbor and taking on this brutal war,” Price said.
US spokesperson further accused Russia of spreading a series of disinformation, regarding the issue of food security and the global food supply.
