UNITED NATIONS -- The United Nations chief said Wednesday he is in “intense contacts” with Russia and other countries to stop escalating global hunger exacerbated by the war in Ukraine by allowing the export of grain stored in Ukrainian ports and ensuring Russian food and fertilizers have unrestricted access to world markets.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he's hopeful after discussions with Moscow, Ukraine, Turkey, the U.S., European Union and other key countries.
