Washington-Sana

The Russian ambassador in Washington, Anatoly Antonov, stressed that the allegations of Western countries that the sanctions imposed on Russia have nothing to do with the global food crisis are false and deceptive.

“The statements of the Westerners that the sanctions and embargo on their part do not affect the supply of foodstuffs and fertilizers are false and cunning, because the situation in the global food markets is directly affected by the sanctions in the financial and transport sectors,” RIA Novosti news agency quoted Antonov as saying today.

Antonov noted that Russia is bound by international contracts regarding the delivery of exports of agricultural products, fertilizers, energy resources and other important commodities, stressing that food security has been undermined for several years by unintelligent economic steps on the part of the West, which were exacerbated by the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Russian ambassador said: “These problems appeared long before the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine and were exacerbated by the wave of unilateral and illegal sanctions against Russia that undermined the credibility of Western governments due to the unpredictability of their actions as well as the disruption of supply chains and disruptions in international financial flows. “.

Yesterday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on the West to allow Russian food and fertilizers to reach global markets. He also called on Russia to allow the export of Ukrainian grain stored in ports, considering that these two measures will contribute to solving the growing global food crisis.
