United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly criticized the Russian attacks on military infrastructure that took place overnight near the Black Sea port cities of Mykolaiv and Odesa in southern Ukraine.
“These attacks are… having an impact well beyond Ukraine. We are already seeing the negative effect on global wheat and corn prices which hurts everyone, but especially vulnerable people in the global south,” Guterres said in a statement from his spokesman, Stephane Dujarric.
