The number of people displaced worldwide passed a record 89 million last year, the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) says, warning that the intensification of a global food security crisis exacerbated by the Ukraine conflict could further increase that number.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has warned that the Ukraine conflict may cause a social and economic crisis around the world.

Russian ambassador to the US says the global food crisis is worsened due to Western sanctions on Moscow.
