“We are ready to provide more than $1 billion over the next months for humanitarian support to countries affected by Russia’s war against Ukraine.. We are also working with Congress to invest more than $11 billion over the next three years to respond to food security threats,” Thomas-Greenfield said..

The Ambassador noted that, first of all, the lack of food could affect the countries of Africa and the Middle East, which had previously suffered from hunger.. Due to the blockade of Ukrainian ports and granaries, they may be deprived of critical imports, which will lead to a crisis in the regions. Nevertheless, Thomas-Greenfield stressed that the international community is discussing the possibility of creating humanitarian corridors for the transport of food from Ukraine..
