According to him, in the current situation, it is necessary to pay attention to the whole range of reasons that caused the current food crisis.
“First of all, these are the sanctions that have been imposed on Russia by the United States and the European Union, which interfere with the normal free trade in food products, including wheat, fertilizers and other things,” TASS quoted him as saying.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken discussed with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian the problem of ensuring world food security during a visit to France.
UN Secretary General António Guterres at a meeting of the UN Security Council announced the need to return to the world markets of products and fertilizers from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
