The European Union's foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell, said that an imminent food crisis could hit the world due to the continuing war in Ukraine.
Borrell explained in a tweet on Twitter that the global food supply is in danger, mainly due to the Russian war on Ukraine, saying that the first victims will be simple people in poor countries, adding that the European Union is working to secure an international response to this crisis.
For his part, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba said that his country has decided to deliver food exports to Africa and other regions through two land routes to save millions of hungry people in Africa and other countries.
Kuleba added in a tweet on Twitter that Russia is putting millions of people at risk of starvation by closing his country's ports, and called on Russia to end its blockade so that Ukraine can return as a free export.
The United Nations had warned of the threat of global famine, as United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that solving the problem of food insecurity requires the reintegration of Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian products into global markets.
"Any meaningful solution to global food insecurity requires the reintegration of Ukrainian agricultural production, Russian and Belarusian food and fertilizer production into world markets despite the war," he said.
"We are working on a comprehensive deal that will enable Ukraine to export food, not only by train, but also via the Black Sea, and will bring Russian food and fertilizer production to world markets without restrictions, and this will require goodwill from all countries involved," he added.
