The United States is preparing a package of assistance for countries that could potentially suffer from the global famine caused by the war in Ukraine. Congress and the White House are already agreeing on the details of implementing the plan. This was stated by the US Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield during a special press briefing.
“We are ready to provide more than $ 1 billion over the coming months to provide 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 address food security threats, “said Thomas Greenfield.
The ambassador noted that food shortages could primarily affect countries in Africa and the Middle East that are still starving. Due to the blockade of Ukrainian ports and granaries, they may be deprived of critical imports, which will cause a crisis in the regions. However, Thomas Greenfield stressed that the international community is discussing the possibility of creating humanitarian corridors for food transportation from Ukraine.
