European Union leaders discussed with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday global food security and sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, also validating a plan to provide more ammunition in Kiev.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says the community bloc wants to make sure Russia’s ‘horrific’ war in Ukraine’does not lead to food insecurity in the world“.
EU Heads of State and Government endorsed in talks a plan to send Ukraine one million artillery shells over a year, as previously agreed by Ministers of Foreign Affairs foreigners of the block.
Separately, as the International Criminal Court (ICC) last week issued an arrest warrant once morest Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes in Ukraine, for the illegal deportation of children, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said he wanted to work for the return of these children, by organizing a conference on the subject.
It’s a horrifying reminder of the darkest times in our history, the child deportations that happen there. It is a war crime.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission
