Food crisis: Russia accused of leading the world to famine (California 18) 

June 19, 2022


California 18 published an article on how Russia has put the world in danger of famine with the blockade of grain exports from Ukraine and the restrictions on its own shipments. “Now we have to go around Europe to return to the Mediterranean. That has really added a huge cost to Ukrainian grain,” said senior research fellow Joseph Glauber. Ukraine has only managed to export between 1.5 million and 2 million tons of grain since the start of the war, compared to more than 6 million before.
