Russian war against Ukraine: Present situation (Ukrainian Embassy in Tunisia)

PEACE PROSPECTS

The war must end with the achievement of a just and lasting peace. Peace without justice leads to a new war.
Ukraine is interested not only in restoring the borders or bringing the aggressor to justice, but also in forming a reality in which new aggression will become impossible. As long as the aggressor believes that he can win and impose his will on the world, there is no possibility of achieving peace.
Only the defeat of Russia or the realization of the futility of aggression will open the way to truly constructive negotiations. The countries of the free world must together convince Russia that its hopes of victory are futile.

UKRAINE RESUMED ITS LEADING POSITION IN GRAIN SUPPLYING TO TUNISIA

According to statistics, the import of Ukrainian grain to Tunisia in 2023 amounted to almost 20%.
During the 10 months of the Ukrainian maritime corridor operation, 1,300 ships used it. Ukraine exported 55 million tons of cargo. Last year, after Russia’s unilateral withdrawal from the “grain agreements,” Ukraine single-handedly laid a temporary sea corridor, which is still functioning successfully today.
Despite Russian attacks on port infrastructure, Ukrainian exports from Black Sea ports have almost returned to pre-war volumes. Ukraine continues to fulfil its mission as a guarantor of world food security.
To increase the security of the critically important artery of providing food to the world’s consumers, the Defence Forces of Ukraine cleared the north-western waters of the Black Sea from the Russian fleet. Ukraine is grateful to its partners, in particular, Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria, which have started anti-mine operations in the Black Sea to improve shipping safety.
