Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky blamed Russia for causing the ongoing crisis in Sri Lanka as he pointed out that blocking of food products during the invasion of Ukraine has resulted in unrest all around the world.

During his address at the Asian Leadership Conference in Seoul, Zelensky said that one of the tactics Russia has used in its invasion of Ukraine is the creation of an “economic shock”. With countries experiencing food and fuel shortages due to the ongoing crisis and disruption in the supply chain, they have fallen into unrest, and this has benefitted Russia’s agenda.

And this concerns not only us. Look at just one example – the events in Sri Lanka. The shocking food and fuel price hikes led to a social explosion. No one knows now how it will end. However, you all know that the same explosions are possible in other countries affected by food and energy crises,” Zelensky said during his address to the Asian countries according to a report by Ukinform.

This dude Zelensky is loosing his marbles. What the problems of Sri Lanka that have been caused by corruption and mis-management of the economy by the Rajapaksa family have got to do with the situation in the Ukraine, is beyond belief. No wonder the economy of the Ukraine under Zelensky is going down the gurgler fast.

Excellent. Now that Mr Zelensky admits sri lanka and Ukraine are in the same boat 'suffering because of Russia, he shouk share some of those Billions with sri lanka that he gets from the west.

What complete and utter rubbish. It’s the Ukraine’s inability to have had sensible negotiations with Russia that’s caused problems worldwide. Zelensky is no hero he can’t win the war. Every day he sends hundreds of men to their deaths for a war he cannot win. The man’s a psychopath. Trying to blame Russia for Sri Lanka’s problems really demonstrates how desperate he is and his crazy thought process.

Russia was to give a GRANT ( not loan) of oil and gas to Sri Lanka on humanitarian basis for two years after discussions held. Russia has always stood by Sri Lanka unlike the West which has trapped our country in debt through their organisations such as the IMF and the World Bank.

What an idiot. Probably has no clue why and what is happening here but wants to blame it on Russia because of their war. Get lost!
