I'd like to start by thanking USG DiCarlo and USG Griffiths for their briefings. Colleagues, my Foreign Secretary said on Monday that Russia's termination of the BSGI [Black Sea Grain Initiative] was taking food out of the mouths of the poorest people across the world. 64% of the 34 million tonnes of grain exported under the deal went to low- and middle-income countries. Unsurprisingly then, Kenya called Russia's withdrawal a "stab in the back" of countries in the Horn of Africa already impacted by drought.
