Russia Hits Huge Grain Silo, Increases Targets in Ukraine
Tens of millions of tonnes of agricultural products have been stuck in Ukraine, creating a food shortage in the areas of the world that rely on Ukrainian exports, particularly Africa.
Tens of millions of tonnes of agricultural products have been stuck in Ukraine, creating a food shortage in the areas of the world that rely on Ukrainian exports, particularly Africa.
The UN had warned that “failure to open those ports will result in famine, destabilisation and mass migration around the world,” leaving over 1.4 billion people affected.
If Ukrainian grain shipments continue to be affected, “significant hunger is expected on the African continent, which will be a humanitarian, then a social, and finally an Italian problem. Without peace, there will be famine in the autumn and 20 million Africans will be ready to leave,” Salvini said.
In 2021, Africa was the continent that suffered the most from a lack of basic sustenance, and the only continent in the UN study with catastrophic levels of food scarcity, the highest category.
Russia, the world’s largest wheat exporter, has threatened to restrict vital agricultural and food exports to countries deemed “friendly” to Moscow, prompting widespread concerns of a global food and migration crisis.
