“The world is facing a food crisis,” he wrote, noting that food prices are rising everywhere and food inflation is gaining momentum.

According to Medvedev, today's recession is much more serious than the period of the financial crisis of 2008-2009.

He stressed that in total, the crisis hit countries with a high level of globalization more strongly, but strong economies are recovering faster.

Earlier, Medvedev spoke about the fifth wave of the new coronavirus pandemic.
