American philosopher and economist, Stanford University professor Francis Fukuyama, during a discussion organized by PEN Ukraine, admitted that Ukraine could be blamed for the food crisis. At the same time, the expert explained why it would be beneficial for Turkey to unblock Ukrainian ports to restore grain exports..

To end the global food crisis, Turkey could solve the issue of blocking Ukrainian grain exports. To do this, the Turkish fleet could start accompanying merchant ships, Fukuyama believes..

" But because this is a global problem, the solution of which would bring significant political benefits to the Turkish side. I don't understand why this script hasn't been implemented yet. Of course, the US and NATO are afraid of escalation from Russia. However, it seems to me that this fear is exaggerated,"

He also admitted that the blame for the emergence of the global food crisis could be shifted to Ukraine, despite the fact that it was Russian aggression that provoked it..

“Now, of course, most people blame Russia for the start of the food crisis.. But if the war drags on without any settlement, then the narrative may change.. Blame could be transferred to Ukraine, and calls to cede territory in order to solve the food crisis will intensify. Therefore, it is very important to control narratives,"

Recall that Russia blocks Ukrainian ports with the help of its Black Sea Fleet and at the same time steals grain from elevators in the occupied territories (more than 400 thousand. tons of grain). This is fraught with food problems and hunger for many countries of the world.. Consequently, Western countries began to look for other ways to export Ukrainian grain and even started talking about creating a naval coalition designed to unblock Ukrainian ports..
