Cindy McCain warns food supplies will not be safe until Russian invasion of Ukraine has ended
and developing world, and shortages of key staples in some countries, following Putin’s invasion of Ukraine almost a year ago – could be abating.does not mean this crisis is anywhere near being over … We are looking at some difficult times. This would be spring planting season [in Ukraine]. There’s no way they can plant because of the invasion and because of the destruction that’s been done, to the land and to machinery.
She added that grain exports in the region were also stuck owing to Russia’s actions. “We have not been able to get a lot of the grain out. Normally we could bring out somewhere near 20m tonnes, and we are nowhere near that number. There’s over 100 ships waiting to get in [to Black Sea ports]. So this crisis is anything but over, and with regards to food and food security, it’s only exacerbated even more.”, following Russia’s invasion.
The impacts have been global, McCain said. “It has a ripple effect. It ripples down into Africa, affecting countries that can’t feed themselves in any way. It’s affecting all of us,” she said., although I think we can stave it off a little bit in Yemen. Famine is a disastrous state to be in. And again this is completely [the result of] what Russia has done.”
