Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday that Russia has blocked the embattled country from exporting 22 million tons of food products.

Speaking with media representatives following a meeting with Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa, Zelensky said that the worldwide energy crisis would be followed by a food crisis if other countries do not aid Ukraine in unblocking its ports and resuming exports.

Food prices are already skyrocketing around the world, causing some countries to ban the exports of key agricultural commodities.

In the U.S., the annual index for consumer food prices shot up by 9.4 percent in April, reaching a 40-year high.

2. In the longer run, some countries are in for a dose of justice

for enabling Russia this past 4-12 weeks.

I suspect numerous sinkings of Russian ships in June.

4. Better that millions of poor people starve to death

than that we make Putin bluff harder about nukes. At least that's what I've been told.
