"We talked [with Stoltenberg – ed.] about the security situation now, in particular the Russian aggressive steps in the Black Sea. Any destabilisation in this region, disruption of our export routes will mean problems with corresponding consequences for everyone in the world. The price crisis is the least of the possible consequences.

We discussed with Mr Stoltenberg our steps to unlock and ensure the sustainable operation of the grain corridor.

In our cooperation, we have moved to a new, higher level – the level of the Ukraine-NATO Council. And this mechanism can work. I have approached Jens with a proposal to convene such a council without delay for appropriate crisis consultations. In one of the following days the meeting will take place. We can overcome the security crisis in the Black Sea."
