U.S. officials are cautioning African countries against buying grains plundered from Ukraine as some nations draw closer to Russia to slow surging food prices and stave off hunger.
The U.S. sent out a warning in mid-May to 14 countries, primarily in Africa, that Russian cargo ships were selling "stolen Ukrainian grain,"
The New York Times reported Monday. The report comes as humanitarian agencies warn of dire consequences from food supply lines disrupted by the conflict in Ukraine and days after African leaders met with Russian President
Vladimir Putin to discuss exporting needed grains.
Putin
met on Friday with Macky Sall, president of Senegal and chairman of the African Union, as well as African Union Commission chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat, at the Russian leader's residence in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi.
After the meeting, Mahamat said on
Twitter that the leaders called for the suspension of Western-imposed sanctions on Russia to allow the export of grains he said were needed to mitigate a growing food and energy crisis.
"Russia is ready to ensure the export of its wheat and fertilizer," Sall said in a Tweet, adding that he was willing to meet with Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelensky as well.
