The focus: Russian fertilizer endangers agriculture and peace!
Lübeck, Deutschland - The current events in the port of Lübeck clearly show how Russia continues to work in the European market despite numerous sanctions. ln online reports that there are currently 17 EU sanction packages against Russia, which are primarily aimed at preventing the financing of the Ukraine War.
