‘World war for bread’ underway – Italy

"Coups and terrorism threaten Africa if the conflict in Ukraine does not end soon, Rome warns

If the military conflict in Ukraine does not come to an end soon, the resulting famine could trigger political instability in Africa, Italian Foreign Minister Luigi di Maio warned during a press conference on Saturday. He also suggested “the proliferation of terrorist organizations and coups d’etat” may be on the horizon.
“The World War for Bread is already underway and we must stop it,” he said.

Italian PM Mario Draghi has previously asked Putin to allow grain exports from both Russia and those parts of Ukraine under Russian control. On Friday, the latter told Russian TV that shipments could be conducted via Belarus. 

"If someone wants to solve the problem of exporting Ukrainian grain - please, the easiest way is through Belarus. No one is stopping it," Putin explained.

"But for this you have to lift sanctions from Belarus."

He has also denied that Ukraine’s wheat is blocked by Russian warships. Putin insisted that Kiev has mined its own harbors extensively, creating serious danger for ships seeking to access Ukrainian ports."
