Quote from Zelenskyy: "It is impossible to avoid the blockade of Ukrainian ports by the Russian Federation. Because of this act of aggression by the Russian state, the world is on the brink of a food crisis. And it's not just a food problem. It is a shortage in the market, it is a catastrophic rise in prices for basic products, it is the threat of hunger for tens of millions of people.
If this is not prevented, we will face the problem of political chaos in some countries in Africa and Asia and consequently, a migration crisis in Europe, when people from countries suffering from hunger will seek salvation."
Details: According to Zelenskyy, the crisis in Africa will inevitably spread to the whole of Europe.
Quote: "Also, the food crisis will inevitably lead to large-scale protests in European countries. Many governments will have to explain to protesters why our continent has been taken hostage by one state - Russia - and one person in Moscow - who ordered a naval blockade of Ukraine."
