President Zelenskiy warns that the winter war in Ukraine has global implications as Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure threaten global food security, including grain supplies

The consequences of the winter war in Ukraine may be all over the world. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with the Associated Press, according to a correspondent of UNN.

"We are in a new phase of war and this is a fact. Winter in general is a new phase of war. Winter warfare is taking place not only on the front line but also in the middle of cities because of the large number of drones and missiles used by the enemy, including ballistic missiles. That is why winter warfare is complex. This is a war to provide energy, water, and above all, drinking water", Zelensky said.

He noted that Russia is hitting critical infrastructure.

"You see that Russia is hitting all this infrastructure. This includes the delivery of food, food products, logistics routes. This is also the transportation of grain, that is, the new corridor that we have now built, the security of this corridor, not to stop it, to remain a guarantor of security for agricultural products for the world," Zelensky said.

The president noted that Ukraine helps "our farmers, our people with jobs and the whole world so that there is no price dumping, no hunger."

Therefore, the winter war is not only in Ukraine. Why did I mention the grain aspect? The winter war is in Ukraine, on the territory of Ukraine, but the consequences can be all over the world, 

Zelensky said.
