Before Russia invaded. Ukraine supplied food for 400 million people all over the world. Now the world is feeling the effects of Russia's aggression from limited food supply to the verge of famine. Why Russia started a war against Ukraine. This has led to a devastating increase in food prices. That's because Ukraine is one of the world's biggest suppliers of food. Ukraine is the world's largest exporter of sunflower oil. Ukraine is the world's second largest exporter of beans, peas and lentils. Ukraine is one of the largest wheat producers in the world. We truly are in an unprecedented crisis. Food pricing is our number one problem right now. As a result of all this, this perfect storm, When a country like Ukraine that grows enough food for 400 million people is out of the market, it creates market volatility which we are now seeing. But the war is not the only reason Russia's aggression will start a global food crisis. The more wars and crises, the more deaths, the better for Russia chaos, poverty, hostility across societies are all exploited by Russia to extend its influence on the world. Russia is blocking every export of grain from Ukraine. The Russian fleet is blocking Ukrainian ports and laying mines along sea routes. So Ukraine cannot export food, I cannot imagine that millions of tons for we remain in Ukraine. While the rest of the world, people are suffering hunger. This is a real war crime. Russia is ruining the grain export infrastructure in a missile attack. Russian forces destroyed. Ukraine's second largest grain elevator in Nikolayev, it stored 300,000 tons of grain. Russia's forces are mining fields in Ukraine to impede the planting campaign, Russian landmines explode under agricultural machinery. Ukraine is trying to prevent global hunger, risking their lives. Farmers are sowing fields. Ukrainians are even working the land, which has until recently been the center of combat. Ukraine is trying to solve the issue of food exports. A route through Romania is now under development. Food exports can only be unblocked. If the whole world joins the effort, the world can prevent hunger. The world can stop Russia, Stop Russia stand with Ukraine.
