On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on energy-producing countries to raise output so that Russia cannot "blackmail" other countries with its oil and gas wealth.
Using a video link to address the Doha Forum international conference, Zelenskiy stated that countries like Qatar may contribute to Europe's stabilisation. "They have a lot of power to restore justice. Your efforts will determine Europe's future. I request that you increase energy output so that everyone in Russia understands that no country can use energy as a weapon to blackmail the rest of the globe "In translated comments, he stated.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, Europe's biggest gas supplier, has heightened fears of energy supply disruptions and increased scrutiny of European Union countries' reliance on imported fossil fuels. No country, according to Zelenskiy, is insured against food supply delays caused by Russia's invasion of his country. Ukraine is a major grain producer in the globe.
"The world's markets have yet to recover from the pandemic's effects, including food price spikes. No one is protected from these shocks, and you can't be protected if there's a physical scarcity of food "he stated "Russian troops are covering Ukraine's fields for kilometres and exploding agricultural equipment."
