UN Secretary General urged to allow products and fertilizers from Russia to world markets

Guterres called for food from RUSSIA, Ukraine and Belarus to be allowed on world markets, saying it was the best way to solve the food crisis.Putin has previously blamed the threat of famine on "sanctions obsession"

Russian-made food and fertilizers must be allowed on the world markets to solve the food crisis, said UN Secretary-General António Guterres at the ministerial meeting "Roadmap for Global Food Security - Call for Action". The broadcast is on the UN website.

According to him, the Russian military operation has increased the effect of a number of factors that were in force before that, which influenced the food crisis, in particular climate change and the covid-19 pandemic . Russia , Ukraine and Belarus, Guterres stressed, occupy a leading position in the production of fertilizers and food products.

“Let’s be clear, there is no more effective solution to the food crisis without the reintegration of Ukrainian food production, as well as food and fertilizer produced by Russia and Belarus, into world markets,” the UN Secretary General stressed.

Guterres pointed out that Moscow should stop blocking the EXPORT of food from Ukrainian ports. At the same time, fertilizers and food products from Russia should be allowed to the world markets without obstacles, he continued.

“I am in close contact on these issues with the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Turkey, the United States and the European Union, as well as a number of other key countries. I am sure that there is still a long way to go,” said the UN Secretary General.

At the same time, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken denied accusations that sanctions against Russia became the reason for the deterioration of the food situation in the world. He said that Washington made exceptions to the restrictive measures for fertilizers and agricultural products. He added that international organizations and the authorities of various countries can work together to achieve the opening of corridors for the safe export of food from the territory of Ukraine by land and sea.

Macron and Biden warned of unprecedented food crisis Politics

In early May, the German government announced the threat of famine throughout the world, which will become the strongest since the Second World War. The reasons for this in Berlin were the consequences of the spread of CORONAVIRUS, drought and hostilities in Ukraine. “The World Food Program estimates that 300 million people in the world suffer from hunger, and these estimates are constantly being adjusted upwards,” added German Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Svenja Schulze.

The Russian authorities insist that international sanctions will be to blame for this, such an opinion is shared, in particular, by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. According to him, the world is waiting for a “full-fledged international food crisis” and hunger in individual countries, a major logistical crisis, new epidemics and other consequences.

The countries of the European Union will also face hunger, which will face “intractable consequences,” Russian President Vladimir Putin is sure . He pointed out that the “continuation of the sanctions obsession” will lead to this, and the poorest countries in the world are already facing hunger.

His spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that Moscow did not impose restrictions on the export of fertilizers. “We don’t need to remove anything here, the restrictions imposed by the United States, European countries and others should be lifted here,” he explained. Peskov added that Ukrainian ports are “heavily mined” and pose a danger to shipping, and an operation to clear them is to be done.
