Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Africa is being held “hostage” by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has spurred fears of a food crisis on the continent.

Moscow’s offensive has seen it blockade Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, preventing the country’s grain exports from reaching global markets.
“Africa is actually a hostage. It is a hostage of those who unleashed war against our state,” Zelenskyy said during an address to the African Union delivered via video link.

He added Kyiv was currently engaged in “complex negotiations” to release its ports from Russia’s blockade.

“But there is no progress yet … That is why the global food crisis will continue as long as this colonial war continues,” Zelenskyy said.

He should stfu!


Is it his "hostage"? Why drag everyone into this war?

Has he gone kolo mental? Just asking for my neighbour

Seriously Africa have been experiencing shortage of foods and everything for long, meaning we are now used to it.
So, Mr Ukraine president, no use Africa score goal, face your neighbor

Zelensky don't insult us.
We know you for who you are.
Your kind created, HIV and tested it in Africa, you created monkey pox, tested it in Africa.
I have asked myself, what is British about the British museum.
They came to our lands with the bible first and later with guns.
Your kind killed and dismembered Lumumba and other freedom fighters.
You came to Nigeria and brought different Nations together just because of your greed.
Your kind sponsor terrorism which in turn boomerang.

Foolish clown

Ukraine that is deep at war with Russia still produces more food than Africa and African leaders are still begging and depending on a country that is deep at war for food African leaders need to bow their heads in shame

Belgium had the first Prime Minister of the independent Democratic Republic of the Congo killed. Dumped his body in acid and kept his tooth as a trophy for 60 years.

Congo still welcome them with Red carpet

Putin is holding both Americans and Europeans by their balls.
They are starving but don't want to admit, they're using Africa as an excuse to beg for food release from Russia.
Europeans tribal war being fought with advanced weapons doesn't make it a global concern.
We've our own issues to deal with, they should carry theirs on their own back.
