Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has urged Gulf countries to play their own role in stopping Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by increasing oil and gas production, in order to avert a global food crisis and keep prices stable.
“The Arab world also has a role [to play] because now when we ask for an embargo on Russian oil and gas, all Gulf countries have the opportunity to increase oil and gas supply to the world market, and this is what we are looking for [from them],” Poroshenko told Al Jazeera on Monday, speaking from the capital Kyiv, in full military fatigues.
