Russian president ‘willing to gamble on food security’ by stepping up strikes on grain ships, says UK prime minister

Keir Starmer has accused Vladimir Putin of disrupting food supplies to Gaza after British intelligence suggested Russia had stepped up its attacks on Ukrainian ports.

Starmer said it was clear the Russian president was “willing to gamble on global food security” after several grain ships en route to developing countries were damaged by Russian strikes.

Military intelligence published by the UK government overnight concluded that Russia had increased its attacks on Ukrainian port infrastructure in the Black Sea.

    Guys do not post extremely dishonest takes like this. Any person with eyes can see there is plenty of food aid waiting right outside of Gaza and there is a singular reason it is not getting in. Statements like these are going to make people side with Putin in a kneejerk reaction from losing trust in Starmer.
