russia provokes global food crisis through the “grain war”
What happened? G7 Development Ministers have agreed to form an alliance to ensure global food security.
Source. This was reported by Spiegel.
Details. The alliance should organise both funding and cooperation between states to provide food for the world's population. Currently, the food supplies are also at risk due to the war that russia is waging against Ukraine.
Ukraine is considered the granary of Europe. Many countries, including Africa and Asia, depend on cheap imports from Ukraine. However, russia is blocking the supplies of wheat from the country by sea. This dynamic is intensified by India's ban on wheat exports. Recently, the price of wheat has risen to record levels.
“The terrible consequences of russia's war go far beyond Ukraine,” said Development Minister Svenja Schulze on the eve of the alliance's agreement. “There is a risk of hunger because putin is using hunger as a weapon.” German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock also accused russia of provoking the “global food crisis” through the “grain war”.
Previously. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of russia declared that it would open access to the Ukrainian ports of the Black Sea only in case of removal of sanctions against russia.
