Russia’s US Ambassador Anatoly Antonov

“As to the food security, it was the wave of anti-Russian restrictions, imposed by the US-led collective West, that spurred the global food crisis. Its root causes are incompetent macroeconomic steps taken by a number of developed nations, climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic,” the embassy’s press service quoted the ambassador as saying.
