Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that sanctions imposed by Western nations will lead to a global food crisis, Reuters reported.

Putin said higher energy prices and fertilizer shortages will mean Western nations would have to print more money to buy supplies, which would cause food shortages in poorer countries.

"They will inevitably exacerbate food shortages in the poorest regions of the world, spur new waves of migration, and in general drive food prices even higher," Putin said in a meeting on developing food production, Reuters reported.

Putin also suggested that Russia won't export food to countries that are "hostile" to it.

3. That'll be on him.

What's his goal here? The old Soviet Union won't be reborn, and he'll be remembered as the guy who demonstrated to all the world that Russia is no longer a leading military power.

All he's got in his favor is Europe's dependency on Russian fossil fuels, and now Europe's working to end that.
