If you have a heart: UN calls on Russia to unblock Ukrainian ports

UN World Food Program chief David Beasley is calling on Russian President Vladimir Putin to reopen Ukraine's Black Sea ports to avert famine.

Millions of people around the world will die because these ports are being blocked, Beasley said.

When asked what he would say directly to Putin, the UN official replied:

If you have a heart at all, no matter how you feel about Ukraine, you need to open those ports.

Vital agricultural supplies from Ukraine, known as the breadbasket of the world, are stranded in the war-torn country as the port of Odessa and neighboring ports were blocked by Russia.

Earlier it was reported that due to the war in Ukraine, hunger could begin in the world. At risk are the countries of Africa and Asia.

Recall that Russia is robbing Ukrainian granaries and is trying to sell the stolen goods.
