Forty million people will become food insecure as Russia spoils some of Ukraine’s most productive farmland with mines and bombs, ambassador says
The United States’ ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield on Friday said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will cause 40 million people to become food insecure and that sub-Saharan Africa will be hardest hit.
African governments have largely avoided taking sides in the European conflict, and have refused to join Western condemnation and sanctions. “Russia has systematically captured some of Ukraine’s most productive farmland, spoiling fields with mines and bombs,” Thomas-Greenfield said. Moscow denies responsibility for the food crisis and has blamed Western sanctions for slowing its food and fertilizer exports.
