Liz Truss says grain crisis MUST be resolved as Ukraine faces hunger.

UKRAINE could be faces with a hunger crisis, warns Liz Truss, as the Foreign Secretary urges leaders to resolve the country's grain crisis.

During a visit to Ankara, Turkey, Truss offered Britain's expertise to help resolve the situation.

"We are very clear that this grain crisis is urgent, that it needs to be solved within the next month otherwise we could see devastating consequences," Truss told a news conference alongside Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

"It's very clear that Ukrainian ports must be protected, there needs to be safe passage for commercial vessels. The United Kingdom is offering our expertise on all of those fronts to make sure that we have measures in place so that grain can safely leave, but it is going to require an international effort." said Truss
