A Russian media chief has welcomed the prospect of a global famine caused by Moscow's grain blockade.
Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the news channel RT, made the sickening remarks on stage at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
She said she had heard several Russians say: 'All our hope is in the famine.'
'Here is what it means,' she told the forum. 'It means that the famine will start now and they will lift the sanctions and be friends with us, because they will realise it's necessary.'
