The events in Ukraine are not the cause of hunger, said the head of the Red Cross Peter Maurer.
Approximately 20 African states and 22 million people faced a food crisis much earlier, he believes.
Russia calls for "urgently and massively expanding assistance to people in need."
As Putin said last week, by concluding a "grain deal" with the UN, the West and Ukraine "brazenly deceived" Africa.
@Sputnik has written before that Ukrainian grain does not go to countries in need.
So who has been receiving food since the beginning of the deal?
