Zelenskyy Urges ‘Maximum' Sanctions on Russia in Talk at Davos Forum
For the attendees, there's much to tackle amid soaring food and fuel prices, Russia’s war in Ukraine, climate change, inequality and persistent health crises. But it’s hard to predict if the high-minded discussions will yield substantial announcements that make headway on the world’s most pressing challenges.
Zelenskyy, who received a standing ovation after this remarks, reiterated that Russia was blocking critical food supplies, such as wheat and sunflower oil, from leaving its ports. The head of the U.N.’s World Food Program called for Ukraine's ports to reopen, saying the region’s farmers “grow enough food to feed 400 million people.”
He warned that there are “49 million knocking on famine’s door right now in 43 countries,” including Yemen, Lebanon, Mali, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Congo, Guatemala and El Salvador.
