Vladimir Putin is holding “the world to ransom” over food, Britain’s foreign minister Liz Truss has claimed.
Speaking on a trip to Bosnia, she also accused the Russian leader of “weaponising hunger” across the world.
Responding to a question about whether she supported lifting sanctions in exchange for grain exports from Ukraine, the foreign minister responded: “It is completely appalling that Putin is trying to hold the world to ransom, and he is essentially weaponising hunger and lack of food amongst the poorest people around the world,.”
