Blinken called the connection between the war in Ukraine and the protests in Sri Lanka

The US Secretary of State believes the unrest in Sri Lanka arose because of Russia’s theft of Ukrainian grain.

Russia’s restrictions on Ukrainian grain exports may have contributed to the unrest in Sri Lanka. On Sunday, July 10, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told reporters in Bangkok, Radio Liberty reports.

Blinken expressed concern that grain shortages could lead to other crises around the world. The US Secretary of State again urged Russia to allow grain exports from Ukraine.

“What we are seeing around the world is a growing insecurity over food access, which has been greatly exacerbated by Russia’s aggression against Ukraine,” the Secretary of State said.

He added that it has also affected Thailand, where fertilizer prices are “rising” due to blockages in Ukrainian ports.

The secretary said this would have serious implications for an agricultural country like Thailand, “because the lack of fertilizer, as we know, means that yields will go down next year and prices are potentially to rise. “

It will be recalled that on July 9, thousands of protesters in Colombo stormed the police barricades and stormed the official residence of President Gotabai Rajapaksa. Footage of the happenings spread around the world. In addition, according to media reports, demonstrators took the prime minister’s private residence and set it on fire.

Later, the media reported that against the backdrop of massive protests, Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa agreed to resign.
