We must put an end to russian food blackmail, – Rishi Sunak

In order to reduce the influence of russia and putin on the world economy, it is necessary, in particular, to put an end to russia’s blackmail regarding food supplies.

Prime Minister of Great Britain Rishi Sunak offered his ways to reduce the influence of russia and its President Vladimir putin on the world economy.

“While we recover from the pandemic that almost broke the world economy, every family on the planet is feeling the consequences of the war in Ukraine. World food prices have risen due to putin’s attempts to block Ukrainian grain exports, two-thirds of which go to developing countries. Electricity bills have skyrocketed because russia turned off the gas taps,” Sunak said in a column for The Telegraph.

Among the proposals of the prime minister is to take measures to prevent hunger in the world.

“We must put an end to russia’s terrible blackmail in the matter of food supplies. I support the UN Secretary General in ensuring that grain cargoes continue to move in the Black Sea, and I call on all those countries that can produce more food or release stocks to do so to help increase supplies,” the politician said.

Sunak also believes that ensuring the security of supply chains and quickly abandoning energy dependence on countries such as russia will help to get rid of russia’s influence on the world economy. In addition, the British prime minister calls for remaining committed to the promotion of free markets and an open global economy.
