In a recent statement, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized that cross-border sanctions disproportionately affect impoverished countries and vulnerable groups. Lavrov pointed out that these punitive measures deprive these groups of affordable energy, food, and fertilizers.
Lavrov’s remarks draw attention to the growing consequences of global sanctions policies. The difficulties poor countries face, particularly in obtaining energy and food, are emerging as direct results of these sanctions.
Lavrov also expressed concerns that this situation could reduce aid to these nations and potentially increase social unrest. He stressed that these escalating issues necessitate international solidarity.
