The relevant bipartisan resolution was promulgated the day before.
The US Senate proposes to recognize Russia's actions aimed at threatening global hunger as a war crime. This is stated in a resolution issued the day before by American lawmakers from the Democratic and Republican parties.
The document condemns the actions of Russia, which blocks Ukrainian ports />, which makes it impossible to export grain to other countries. According to one of the main initiators of the project, Democrat Senator Robert Menendez, the deliberate creation of a food crisis, which affects civilians, is a war crime.
“Putin continues to show his depravity to the world by blocking Ukrainian ports and destroying the agricultural sector, trying to starve those Ukrainians who survived the riots. And I am proud to present this resolution with my colleagues in order to reaffirm our commitment to support the humanitarian effort and respond to the crisis. Together, we must confront the problems in the global supply chain and bring to justice a despot who uses hunger as a weapon of war, “Menendez said.
Other Democrats and Republicans also stressed the need to bring those responsible for the famine to justice, and called on the US president to publicly condemn Putin's use of the artificial food crisis as a means of waging war. The resolution also states that the United States will actively help those countries that are at risk of starvation.
