UN: Russia’s war threatens to push one-fifth of people into hunger and poverty.

In an op-ed published on April 13, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that 1.7 billion people across the world are at risk of destitution. Guterres cites a surge in energy costs and food prices due to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine as major reasons.
