commentary to an Ukrinform <\/a>correspondent in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThat [Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine \u2013 Ed.] caused an immediate food crisis. International food crisis caused an immediate increase in the price of food for billions of people,\u201d Rae said, answering a question about how Russian aggression affected the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The diplomat mentioned that the war had caused the displacement of millions of people, internally in Ukraine and then externally to other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, the population of Ukraine was reduced dramatically. And the question of how do you help them deal with this level of forcible displacement became a huge, a huge issue,\u201d Rae added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his words, the consequences of what Russia has done and is still doing on the global economy have been \u201cconsistently negative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this regard, international organizations have to \u201cmake every step to try and make sure that people have enough food, that the price of food is affordable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Rae, the inflation spike had \u201ca profoundly negative impact\u201d, even though it has come down at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this context, the diplomat recalled a poem by John Donne, where the British poet said: \u201cNo man is an island, Entire of itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen things impact, the impacts are felt much more widely than we realize. And I wouldn\u2019t describe it as a ripple effect. It\u2019s more like a tsunami effect, because of the impact that it had at the time, and there\u2019s no getting around that,\u201d Rae explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, as emphasized by Rae, the global economy is resilient, and the Ukrainian economy is resilient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c[\u2026] the Ukrainian people are resilient, and hopefully the resilience of Ukraine\u2019s friends will be sufficient to allow Ukraine to succeed in its self-defense,\u201d Rae concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A reminder that Secretary-General of the United Nations Ant\u00f3nio Guterres stated earlier that a just peace in Ukraine, among other things, would promote the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
