Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Following the launch of the special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russia became the most sanctioned country in the world due to Western restrictive measures.<\/p>\n

The imposition of sanctions against Russia has serious consequences for grain supplies to the poorest countries in Africa; the humanitarian situation there has worsened, the UN Special Rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights, Elena Dovgan, said in an interview .<\/p>\n

\u201cUnilateral coercive measures severely fragment the global food market and also affect developing countries,\u201d Dovgan said.<\/p>\n

She explained: \u201cThe introduction of unilateral sanctions against Russia has had a serious impact on the ability to supply grain to the poorest countries in Africa, contributing to the deterioration of the already difficult humanitarian situation in these states. The adoption of unilateral coercive measures has a strong impact on food security in the states against which such measures are taken.\u201dAccording to her, unilateral sanctions also impede access to fertilizers, vaccines for livestock, and seeds, \u201cwhich also seriously undermines food security.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPreliminary results of the monitoring show that the imposition of unilateral sanctions leads to a serious increase in consumer food price inflation for the vast majority of sanctioned countries\u2026 Another humanitarian indicator that was significantly affected by the adoption of unilateral coercive measures were the indicators of food price anomalies in Afghanistan, Croatia, Montenegro, Zimbabwe, China, Mali, Nicaragua, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belarus and Iran,\u201d the UN expert noted.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that it is the West that is responsible for the destruction of global food security, despite accusations from Washington about Russia\u2019s alleged responsibility in this matter.<\/p>\n
