News from Al-Madinah: By withdrawing from the pact to exchange Black Sea medicines, which the UN negotiated, Russia, according to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, is using food as a weapon and aggravating humanitarian concerns.
“Any procedure from Russia to disrupt these important exports of grains is essentially a statement that people and families around the world have to pay more for food or hunger,” Plangen said in a statement.
US Vice President Joe Biden criticised the choice, calling it “absolutely disgraceful” and adding that it will worsen famine.
“Nothing they are doing is respectable. The United Nations has negotiated that agreement and should be at the end of the matter,” Biden told reporters in Dilayer, his hometown.
