 US ‘could end food blockade’

 
WASHINGTON, 20 May. - (ANA) - Washington is considering sending advanced anti-ship missiles to Ukraine in order to sink Moscow’s war vessels and end the Kremlin’s naval food blockade.
 
 Russian President Vladimir Putin has been blamed for creating a global food crisis by blocking Ukrainian ports to prevent grain and other produce from leaving the so-called “breadbasket of Europe”. 
 
When Putin “blocks our ports… he is blackmailing the world”, said Ala Stoyanova, the deputy governor of Odessa. 
 
Bryan Clark, a naval expert at the Hudson Institute in Washington, said Ukraine could “take out the largest Russian ships since they have nowhere to hide in the Black Sea”.   - (ANA) -
