Dmitry Polyansky. File photo UN, May 20. The United States manually creates famine in Syria, preventing Syrians from accessing agricultural fields, Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, said at a UN Security Council meeting. He indicated that the UN is trying to circumvent side of the problem of the devastating impact of unilateral EU and US sanctions on the Syrian economy. «As a result, ordinary Syrians remain hostages, deprived of access not only to their oil resources, but also to the agricultural fields that once fed the entire region. Washington, which occupies these Syrian lands, in fact, has been deliberately creating hunger in the once self-sufficient from the food point of view of the country,» Polyansky said. According to him, the US Treasury General License No. 22, issued on May 12, «ensuring from now on the access of the northwestern and northeastern regions of Syria to private investments from abroad, in fact, legalizes for Washington, the theft of Syrian grain from the Euphrates.» «We regret that the UN leadership for all this time did not have the opportunity to properly comment on such illegal US activities in Syria,» he added.
