This means that, unfortunately, dozens of countries may face physical food shortages. Millions of people may starve to death if the Russian Black Sea blockade continues”, the Ukrainian president said.

Global leaders have condemned the blockade by Russian forces at the main ports in Ukraine, including Marioupolis on the Azov Sea and Odessa on the Black Sea, which has left more than 20 million tonnes of blocked grain within the country. Ukraine's navy said on Monday that about 30 Russian ships and submarines continued the civil transport blockade on the Black Sea. /a2cn
