“True causes of grave turbulence that is menacing the global food market is not in Russia’s actions, but rather in unlimited sanctions hysteria that the West started against Russia without thinking either about the population of states of the so-called Global South, or about their own people.” This was the blunt message of Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN on March 29, posted to Russia’s UN Mission website. “Attempted economic, logistical, and financial isolation of Russia from cooperation channels that were established over years are already creating an economic crisis of historic proportions. It is clear even to laymen that only rejection of unilateral restrictive measures can lift tensions from transportation-related, logistical, and financial aspects, ensure unimpeded deliveries and stability of global agricultural and food markets,” he said.
