Zelenskyy: Russia putting dozens of states at risk of famine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that the states of the world are aware that by blocking the Black Sea and continuing the war, Russia is putting dozens of countries at risk of a price crisis or famine.

If countries support Ukraine, they will prevent global famine, RBK-Ukraine quotes the president's address as saying.

Zelenskyy also noted that the sooner the war ends, the sooner the state of the food market will be restored.

"Now supporting Ukraine, primarily with weapons, means preventing global famine. The sooner we liberate our land and ensure the security of Ukraine, the sooner we will restore the normal state of the food market," the head of state stressed.
