Zelensky warns of food crisis, urges end to Russian blockade

SINGAPORE, June 11 — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday urged international pressure to end a Russian naval blockade of Black Sea ports that has choked off his country’s grain exports, threatening a global food crisis.

“The world will face an acute and severe food crisis and famine, in many countries of Asia and Africa,” Zelensky said in a video address to the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit in Singapore. Zelensky urged the international community to “restore the full might of the international law” that existed before the February 24 invasion.
