A Ukraine journalist on Wednesday took advantage of a visit to Ankara by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to deal with it with unwanted questions about the export of seeds from Ukraine, amidst the concern of world hunger if this problem was not resolved.
Lavrov is in Turkey to discuss the formation of a safe corridor for the export of ukraine seeds.
But the press conference by Lavrov and his Turkish colleague Mevlut Cavusoglu will end without Muslim Umerov has been able to ask the question, despite repeating efforts.
Lavrov seemed ashamed of a question without a script, after a careful press conference.
Regardless of cereal, what items do you steal from Ukraine and who do you sell?” Journalists ask.
Lavrov, smiling, shooting back: “You Ukraine is always worried about what you can steal and you think everyone thinks like that!
Our goal there is clear, we want to save people from the pressure of the Neo-Nazi regime.” We do not prevent seeds. To leave the port, MR (President of Ukraine Volodymyr) Zelensky must give orders, that’s all, “he added.
Contacted later by AFP, Umerov, based in Istanbul for Ukraine public television, explained that he had raised his hand during the whole question and answer session but realized that the organizer “would not let me speak” so decided to interrupt hard.
I take the risk of disturbing the press conference because all Ukraine is waiting for answers to this question,” he said.
Ukraine Ambassador to Ankara on Friday accused Russia of stealing and exporting Ukraine seeds, especially to Turkey.
