Moscow wants to starve the world, Latvian FM says amid Russian attacks on Ukraine’s grain infrastructure
Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže said Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s grain infrastructure are driven by Moscow’s desire to starve the world.
Latvian Foreign Minister Krišjānis Braže criticized Russia for attempting to "starve the world" following recent Russian airstrikes on Ukraine's critical grain infrastructure. In response to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha's post on X, Braže highlighted that these attacks have adversely affected approximately 400 million people worldwide, particularly in vulnerable nations.
Sybiha's call for increased support and immediate measures to lessen the impact of Russia's aggression on Ukraine's grain exports was echoed by Braže. The escalation of Russia's war against Ukraine has led to a rise in global wheat prices by 3.7–6.6%. After a period of decreasing strike intensity, heavy Russian assaults intensified around Odesa and Ukraine's port facilities, alongside intense ballistic attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.
