NEW YORK, KOMPAS.TV Russia and the United States (US) clash again at the United Nations. US ambassador to UN accuses Russia of creating food situation increasingly precarious in Yemen, while elsewhere it is worse as a result of attacking Ukraine, Thursday (14/4/2022).
As reported by the Associated Press , Friday (15/4), the US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield calls it just a grim example of the effect Russias unwarranted, unjust and senseless war towards the most vulnerable in the world.

Russias Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky replied: that comment.
The main factor of instability and the source of the current problem is not Russian special military operations in Ukraine, but the sanctions measures that imposed on our country, which cuts off any supply from Russia and from the supply chain, other than the required supply countries in the West, in other words energy, says Polyansky.
If you really want to help the world avoid a crisis food, you must lift the sanctions that you yourself impose, sanctions your own choice, and then the poor countries will soon feel the difference, says Polyansky.
And if youre not ready to do that, then dont get involved in incitement, and do not mislead everyone.
