India: Ukraine War Implications Will Lead To Hunger Crisis, S Jaishankar

NEW DELHI, 10 June 2022, (TON): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said “the Russia-Ukraine war has thrown up a crisis of fuel, food and fertiliser that will lead to hunger situations and have a very significant inflationary impact.”

The implications of the situation in Ukraine show up in what we call a three 'F' crisis fuel, food and fertiliser.

Mr Jaishankar said “the prices of these three have gone up. They have a very significant inflationary impact.”

The event was organised by the National Institute of Advanced Studies in association with International Studies Network Bangalore in the city.

The minister said “the country faced four major challenges in the last two years. These four issues were COVID-19, tension with China along the Line of Actual Control, the Afghanistan situation and the Ukraine war.”

Mr Jaishankar said “these four major events showed how something faraway has a direct implication on the well-being of a nation.”
