Russia Accused of Creating a Global Food Crisis, Envoy Walks Out of UN Security Council Meeting

Russia has yet again been humiliated on the international stage during a UN Security Council meeting. Russian envoy to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya walked out of the UN meeting after the European Council’s president directly accused Russia of causing a global food crisis by stealing Ukraine’s grain and blocking Ukraine from exporting the grain themselves.

European Council President Charles Michel addressed Vasily Nebenzya directly during the meeting that happened last Monday. He did not mince his words and directly stated that Russia was the source of the growing food supply crisis.

“Mr. Ambassador of the Russian Federation, let’s be honest, the Kremlin is using food supplies as a stealth missile against developing countries,” Michel said to Vasily Nebenzya.

“Russia is solely responsible for this food crisis. Russia alone, despite the Kremlin’s campaign of lies and disinformation. I’ve seen it with my own eyes a few weeks ago in Odesa. Millions of tons of grain and wheat stuck in containers and ships because of Russian warships in the Black Sea and because of Russia’s attack on transport infrastructure. And it is Russian tanks, Russian bombs, and mines that are preventing Ukraine from planting and harvesting.”
