Russia’s ambassador dropped out of the UN meeting in the middle of returning to Ukraine because of European statements

Since Russia – Ukraine war outbreak on February 24, a food crisis occurred on a global scale with the prices of grains, cooking oil, fuel and fertilizer all skyrocketing.

Russia and Ukraine now together account for almost a third of the world’s wheat supplies. Russia is also a major fertilizer exporter, while Ukraine is one of the main corn and sunflower oil exporters in the market.

Speaking at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on June 6, European Council President Michel accused Moscow of “using food supplies as stealth missiles against developing countries. Russia completely responsible for this food crisis”.

The President of the European Council also accused the soldiers Russia There has been much wrongdoing during special military campaign in neighboring country. He also cited reports of sexual violence.

Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia left the Security Council meeting room while Michel was speaking. With apparent anger, the diplomat told Reuters: “I cannot stay because of the lies that Charles Michel has brought here.”

In his earlier remarks, Mr. Nebenzia categorically denied any allegations of sexual violence involving Russian soldiers, and condemned what he considered “lies”.

Pointing directly to Mr. Nebenzia as the Russian ambassador was getting up to leave, Mr. Michel declared: “You can leave the meeting room, maybe it will be easier not to listen to the truth.”

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is trying to broker a package deal to resume food exports from the two conflicting neighbors as well as Russian fertilizer exports. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will visit Turkey on June 8 to discuss lifting the block on grain exports from Ukraine.
