Russia is blocking Ukraine from exporting food, threatening Africa with starvation (Daily Wire)

June 22, 2022


Daily Wire writes in an article that Russia is reportedly preventing grain shipments from leaving Ukraine, threatening much of the world with starvation. According to IFPRI, Russia and Ukraine produce a combined 30 percent of the world’s traded wheat. As Russia blockades the Black Sea with ships and sea mines, thereby preventing Ukrainian exports, some Western officials have accused Russia of holding people in the developing world hostage.
