The Russian Embassy in Ghana has stated that its country cannot be blamed for the rising cost of food items in Ghana.
In a series of tweets, the Embassy said it is extremely unfair for the government to attribute the food crisis to its invasion of Ukraine when it is crystal clear the situation is as a result of policies from the West adding that the media’s coverage of same is very much regrettable.
According to the Embassy, Russia can’t accept any responsibility for the current challenges bringing the global food value chain to its knees.
“The Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Ghana notes with regret the ongoing unfounded media campaign accusing the Russian side of rising food prices on the African continent”, the Embassy tweeted.
“In the desire to blame Russia the hapless experts have gone so far as to ignore the obvious facts. So, the thesis is being actively promoted, that allegedly because of Russia’s actions, the volume of grain crops in market turnover has decreased. In other words, the price is not rising because of Russia’s actions. The collective West wanted to punish Russia, but it punished itself along with the rest of the world.”
