  Puti's genocidal acts have far reaching consequences for millions of people. And he's basking in its horror. He's worse than a Nazi. The Salton of Chaos! King of Mordor.
context: Ukraine grew a shitload of wheat. And a lot of it went south, to Africa and the Middle East. 
  Always in the top ten producers over the last decade or so, and they outproduce us (Australia) the last few years, with nearly double the output. They're around about the same production as France and Germany.
  With both Russia and Ukraine off the table, IIRC the world supply of a wheat has dropped by 25% from before the war. And that's just wheat, not including other grains or staples like sunflower oil. >
  
  Dont forget fertilizer, which has a flow on effect to all sorts of other crops .. both in fertile regions like Brazil and in borderline regions like Africa >
  
  Brazil is supposed to already have began seeing climate related troubles growing their expected quotas of coffee from what I hear, but I'm not sure if Ukrainian fertilizer, or a lack thereof, would be game changing for them? >
  
  Most food supply and production issues have a domino effect. If a source gets removed or limited, then the other existing sources get the burden, dividing resources further.
  The invasion of Ukraine has and will continue to have a direct and indirect effect on food production for quite awhile, even if it magically went back to how things were, because theres already a deficit for certain areas that returning to normal levels wouldn't fix it outright. >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 56%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the world for greater determination and cooperation to stop the aggressive actions that are disrupting the international food market.
  For Africa, for countries like Ethiopia or Sudan, this means empty tables for thousands and thousands of families.... "This means that the world needs more determination and more cooperation to stop the aggressive actions that are disrupting the food market. To stop any nation that blockades the sea and destroys food supply chains. To bring to justice any tyrant who tries to make famine an instrument of his policy."
  Zelenskyy called on countries to join the Grain from Ukraine initiative and the initiative to create food hubs in African countries, as well as to implement the Ukrainian peace formula.

  What about food from Russia? >
  
  No. >
  
  The world would also like to add that the seller's of produce need to STOP FUCKING AROUND WITH THE PRICES. Sincerely. >
  
  I really admire Zelenskyy. He will not let the world forget whats going on in Ukraine right now. Relentlessly urging the world to see that it affects them also. Even facing horrible loses to his population, destruction of infrastructure and lives, having to beg for every bullet, he will still not lose hope and keep believing in the final victory. >
  
  Of course he is not going to stop talking.  Ukraine is entirely reliant on western aid.  If they stop sending weapons the country would fold to russia in weeks. >
  
  I mean…that was the agreement when they willingly gave up their nukes, was it not? >
  
  Zelenskyy doesn’t have to keep pointing out how it affects the rest of the world — but he does. He isn’t afraid to keep shaming the world but also waking them up with facts. A great leader, in my opinion. >
  
  Might be cheaper for the rest of the world to point a missile at Russia & tell them to stop or else. >
  
  Cheaper in some ways, much more expensive in others. 
  At the end of the day, current Russian anti-sanction efficiency is incredibly low. Not buying from them, re-diversifying and sending old weapons that are somehow still better than Russia's stuff to Ukraine is super cheap, and more importantly almost risk free,  compared to what you are suggesting >
  
  I always used to hear as a kid that the world produced more than enough food for all of its people
  But that people still starve every day bc of how unevenly the distribution is
  As the means to move resources improve this problem needs to start being dealt with more.
