President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky commented on Twitter on Pope Francis' call to "brothers" from Russia to resume the grain deal.

“An important call from the pontiff to Moscow is to resume the Black Sea Grain Initiative. The reaction of world spiritual leaders to the Russian missile terror and the destruction of Ukrainian agricultural products is extremely important to the effect that the whole world has to be protected from the food crisis, notably the peoples of Africa and Asia, who are most exposed to the threat of hunger,” Zelensky wrote.

According to him, the main thing now is to stop Russian terror and fully implement the peace formula.

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the pope called on the "brothers" from the Russian Federation to resume the Black Sea grain deal.
