Millions Will ‘Pay The Price’ Of Russia’s Grain Deal Exit: UN Chief – By AFP News (IB Times) / July 17, 2023
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said Monday that millions of people facing hunger will “pay the price” of Russia’s decision to exit the Ukraine grain deal.
He told reporters at the United Nations headquarters in New York that the move by Moscow will “strike a blow to people in need everywhere.”
“Hundreds of millions of people face hunger and consumers are confronting a global cost-of-living crisis. They will pay the price,” Guterres said.
The UN chief added that he deeply regretted Russia’s decision but added it would not stop the world body’s efforts to “facilitate the unimpeded access” to global markets of food and fertilizers from Ukraine and Russia.
