“Here it is necessary not only to appeal to Russia, but also to pay attention to the whole complex of reasons that caused the current food crisis. First of all, these are sanctions that have been imposed against Russia by the United States and the European Union, which interfere with the normal free trade in food goods, including wheat, fertilizers and other things, ”said the deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
