Moscow uses food as weapon, Polish deputy FM tells UN
Russia has deliberately orchestrated a food crisis as part of its „economic aggression against the Global South,” while seeking to protract its war against Ukraine at any cost, a Polish deputy foreign minister has told a UN gathering.

Addressing a United Nations Security Council meeting on Thursday, Wojciech Gerwel accused Moscow of political hypocrisy and cynicism in using food as a weapon as part of its invasion of Ukraine.
The UN Security Council meeting was centered around the famine and food insecurity caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to officials.
Radio Poland’s Michał Owczarek has the story.
