Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, denied that Moscow is to be blamed for the global food crisis. As Grain shortages caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine have devastated most of the Arab countries and Africa. He accused Western countries of attempting to impose their domination on others.
It is about the future of the international system, not Ukraine. They claim that everyone must embrace a rules-based world order, and that the rules are designed based on the specific scenario that the West wishes to settle in its favour.
Ukraine is one of the top exporters of wheat, but supplies have been blocked due to Russia’s invasion and naval blockade of its ports.Some Ukrainian grain is carried around Europe through train, road, and river at a much higher cost.
African countries are among the most hit by the war’s repercussions. Prices for essential goods have soared, and billions of dollars in charity have been sent to individuals fleeing the conflict in Europe.As a result, millions of people in war zones in Africa and the Middle East are facing rising food and other aid shortages.
Lavrov’s visit to Cairo comes as Russia’s state-owned atomic energy corporation, Rosatom, began work last week on a multiple power project in Egypt.
