US Secretary of State Antony Blinken accused Russia on Thursday of using food as a weapon in Ukraine by holding “hostage” the food supply for not only millions of Ukrainians, but millions around the world who rely on the country's exports.

Addressing the UN Security Council, Mr Blinken appealed to Russia to stop the blockade of Ukrainian ports.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 to carry out what Moscow calls a “special military operation”.

“The Russian government seems to think that using food as a weapon will help accomplish what its invasion has not — to break the spirit of the Ukrainian people,” he said.

“The food supply for millions of Ukrainians and millions more around the world has quite literally been held hostage by the Russian military.”

The war in Ukraine has caused global prices for grains, cooking oils, fuel and fertiliser to soar.

Antony Blinken leads UN bid to fix Ukraine war food price crisis

Russia and Ukraine together account for about one third of global wheat supplies. Ukraine is also a major exporter of corn, barley, sunflower oil and rapeseed oil, while Russia and Belarus — which has backed Moscow in its war in Ukraine — account for more than 40 per cent of global exports of potash, a crop nutrient.

Russia's UN ambassador Vasily Nebenzya said it was “absolutely false” that Russia was to blame for a global food crisis that had been brewing for several years.

He accused Ukraine of holding foreign vessels in its ports and mining the waters while the Russian military has repeatedly tried to open safe corridors for vessels.

Mr Nebenzya blamed western sanctions imposed on Moscow over the Ukraine war for having a chilling effect on Russian exports of food and fertiliser.

But Mr Blinken rejected Russian claims that sanctions were fuelling the food crisis.

“The decision to weaponise food is Moscow's and Moscow's alone,” Mr Blinken said. “As a result of the Russian government's actions, some 20 million tonnes of grain sit unused in Ukrainian silos as global food supply dwindle, prices skyrocket, causing more around the world to experience food insecurity.”

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres is trying to broker a “package deal” that will allow Ukraine to resume food exports through the Black Sea and revive Russian food and fertiliser production to world markets.

“There is enough food for everyone in the world. The issue is distribution, and it is deeply linked to the war in Ukraine,” Mr Guterres told the council on Thursday.

The currency conundrum

Russ Mould, investment director at online trading platform AJ Bell, says almost every major currency has challenges right now. “The US has a huge budget deficit, the euro faces political friction and poor growth, sterling is bogged down by Brexit, China’s renminbi is hit by debt fears while slowing Chinese growth is hurting commodity exporters like Australia and Canada.”

Most countries now actively want a weak currency to make their exports more competitive. “China seems happy to let the renminbi drift lower, the Swiss are still running quantitative easing at full tilt and central bankers everywhere are actively talking down their currencies or offering only limited support," says Mr Mould.

This is a race to the bottom, and everybody wants to be a winner.

Five famous companies founded by teens

There are numerous success stories of teen businesses that were created in college dorm rooms and other modest circumstances. Below are some of the most recognisable names in the industry:

  1. Facebook: Mark Zuckerberg and his friends started Facebook when he was a 19-year-old Harvard undergraduate. 
  2. Dell: When Michael Dell was an undergraduate student at Texas University in 1984, he started upgrading computers for profit. He starting working full-time on his business when he was 19. Eventually, his company became the Dell Computer Corporation and then Dell Inc. 
  3. Subway: Fred DeLuca opened the first Subway restaurant when he was 17. In 1965, Mr DeLuca needed extra money for college, so he decided to open his own business. Peter Buck, a family friend, lent him $1,000 and together, they opened Pete’s Super Submarines. A few years later, the company was rebranded and called Subway. 
  4. Mashable: In 2005, Pete Cashmore created Mashable in Scotland when he was a teenager. The site was then a technology blog. Over the next few decades, Mr Cashmore has turned Mashable into a global media company.
  5. Oculus VR: Palmer Luckey founded Oculus VR in June 2012, when he was 19. In August that year, Oculus launched its Kickstarter campaign and raised more than $1 million in three days. Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion two years later.
