Global food crisis will continue until war in Ukraine ends, says Zelenskyy

“The food crisis in the world will continue as long as Russia’s colonial war on Ukraine continues,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his address to the African Union, Report informs.

“Africa is actually a hostage... of those who unleashed war against our state,” he stressed.

“This war may seem very distant to you and your countries. But the food prices that are catastrophically rising have already brought (the war) to the homes of millions of African families. The unjust level of food prices, which has been provoked by the Russian war, is being painfully felt on all continents. Unfortunately, this can be a particular problem for your countries,” Zelenskyy said.
