The war between Ukraine and Russia, two of the world’s top crop producers, might lead to a food crisis “on the global” scale, French Agriculture Minister Julien Denormandie has said.
European Union ministers will discuss the food situation with their Ukrainian counterpart in a video call, Denormandie added in remarks delivered before an agriculture meeting involving officials from the bloc, AlJAzeera reports.
A World Food Programme (WFP) official said on Friday that food supply chains in Ukraine were collapsing, with key infrastructure such as bridges and trains destroyed by bombs and many grocery stores and warehouses empty.
