Putin aims to trigger migration to Europe through food crisis — FM Sybiha

Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha made this statement on the social media platform X , according to Ukrinform. The minister noted that Russian terror is not limited to Ukraine—it also threatens countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Vulnerable families in countries dependent on food imports will be the first to feel the consequences of Moscow’s actions—due to rising food prices and shortages, which will lead to malnutrition and hunger. “Beyond this humanitarian toll, Moscow is pursuing a further goal: destabilizing Europe. Putin is betting that hunger and food shortages can cause an influx of migrants. That is precisely what he aims for, particularly ahead of elections in EU member states next year,” Sybiha said.
