RECORDED | UN General Assembly emergency session to discuss Ukraine

The United Nations General Assembly is convening on Wednesday to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine following Russia's invasion of the country.

The invasion of Ukraine, known as Europe’s breadbasket, jolted commodities markets, and countries responded by hoarding grains and cooking oil, or encouraging bigger harvests. The Group of Seven nations and the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization are urging leaders to keep trade flows open, warning that protectionism can push prices higher and lead to empty shelves in countries dependent on imports.
