Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned of a global food crisis due to Russia’s invasion of his country, during a virtual speech addressing attendees at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on June 11.
“The world will face an acute and severe food crisis and famine,” he told the 575 delegates from 40 countries at the dialogue, according to CNBC. “The food [crisis] touches Asia, Europe, and Africa. Russia has blocked the Black Sea. Prices are rising. Russia is violating international law,” he said in a question-and-answer session.
