UN chief calls on West to lift some Russia sanctions to prevent hunger

United Nations chief António Guterres called on West to lift some Russia sanctions in order to prevent global hunger.

“Russian food and fertilizers must have full and unrestricted access to world markets,” said UN Secretary General António Guterres.

“Let’s be clear: there is no effective solution to the food crisis without reintegrating Ukraine’s food production, as well as the food and fertilizer produced by Russia and Belarus, into world markets, despite the war,” Guterres added.
