War against Ukraine can lead to hunger in different countries of the world, said Russian President Vladimir Zelensky, speaking on video calls to the deputies of the Italian parliament.
The Ukrainian leader called on Italian legislators to provide assistance in the fight against Russia and noted that the Russian troops continue to destroy Ukrainian cities and destroy civilians. He stressed that the consequences of this war will soon be felt worldwide. “For the Russian troops, Ukraine – the gate to Europe, where they want to break, but the barbarism must be stopped,” the head of the state “Voice of America” quotes.
Zelensky noted, in particular, the threat of hunger, impending on a number of countries, because Ukraine has always been one of the largest food exporters: “… How can we sow under the shelling of Russian artillery?”
