Condemning Russia for Global Food Insecurity and Ukraine Port Blockade
The U.S. House of Representatives condemns Russia for exacerbating global food insecurity through its invasion of Ukraine and naval blockade. Russia's actions, including destroying port infrastructure and grain silos, directly impact global food availability, potentially leading to price increases and shortages, especially in developing countries. The resolution urges Russia to immediately resume participation in the Black Sea Grain Initiative to prevent further deterioration of the situation.
