Russia’s announcement on Monday that it would end the agreement on the export of Ukrainian grain, also to the Middle East and Asia, has provoked a flurry of reactions from the international community.

Speaking at an event on Tuesday in the European Parliament, businesswoman Alona Lebedieva, the head of a leading private company in Ukraine, was also highly critical.
Lebedieva’s company is a leading Ukrainian diversified industrial and investment group with more than 1,500 employees. She is also a Member of the supervisory board of Corporate Investment Fund Start-up and a graduate of the Kyiv Institute of International Relations.
She is a strong advocate for change in both the political arena and in the workplace.
The debate considered possible comparisons between current events in both Ukraine and war-torn Sudan.
