Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that Western sanctions against Russia have further complicated the situation in the field of food in the world. Russia Today website quoted Putin as saying today during a meeting with the winners of the Russia Leaders Competition: Sanctions against Russia have exacerbated everything, particularly those related to energy, noting that the Westerners committed Errors in the energy sector and gas and fertilizer prices rose, prompting companies to close, including in Europe, while food prices jumped again.

Putin added: The sanctions they imposed on Russia are illegal because they are not supported by the UN Security Council, and everything that is not supported by a Security Council resolution is from the point of view of international law illegal and illegal.

Putin pointed out that the blame for the impending food crisis is being placed on Russia, although it was the West that exacerbated the problems of developing countries and that it started abusing the monopoly of reserve currencies and printing money and all this led to the fact that they began to collect food from the world market.

In another context, Putin said: The Russian side intends to do everything to help people who live and work in the Donbass region.

President Putin commented on the intention of one of the winners of the competition who took the post of Deputy Minister of Education and Science of the Donetsk People's Republic to strengthen the education sector in it, and addressed him by saying: Taking this decision indicates that you seek specifically to serve the country and serve the people, and this deserves respect.
