Essentially Russia exports a large portion of wheat.

"In 2022 the top exporters of Wheat were Australia ($10.2B), United States ($9.21B), Canada ($8.87B), France ($8.09B), and Russia ($5.88B)." Russia exports 8% of all exported wheat in the world.

In 2019 Russia exported 17.8%, in 2020 19.7%, 2021 15.2%

In 2019 the Ukraine exported 9.83%, which dropped to 4.46% in 2022

Russia and the Ukraine combined has the ability to produce somewhere just below 30% of the world's what exports. In 2022 that was down to 12% because of the war.

Reduce the amount of wheat that countries like Egypt, Indonesia, Bangladesh can import and the prices rise. This is a power that Russia would have if it took control of the Ukraine.

There are other reasons, like rare earth minerals, but controlling food in a world with an ever increasing population is something that can then control politics. You buy my food if I like your politics. If not, you don't get any.

Wheat production dropped due to the unnecessary war Biden and his State Department wanted so bad.

One main reason for Russia to control Odessa and all the other ports in that coastal area, including those that can control the mouth of the Danube and the huge Danube basin area .
Russia has been hitting these ports and their infrastructure for some time .
The OP correctly identifies a huge growing problem for many EU countries as well as Ukraine itself

Russians invaded their neighbour 24th February 2022. So fark you for apologising for the enemy.

No shit Sherlock. That’s exactly what the Biden regime wanted.

The war started during the Hussein Regime, when he backed a coup and insurrection to overthrow the democratically elected government in Ukraine and installed a puppet regime. That started a civil war and Russia was involved since then because they were killing ethnic Russian in Ukraine.

I realize for a soulless hack like yourself that wouldn’t mean anything to you, but for the Russians they will not stand on the side and see their brothers killed in such a way.

So Russia only invaded Ukraine because the USA wanted it?

I knew Putin was a pussy, but I didn’t think he was that big of a pussy…

Sounds like a problem between Russia and The Ukraine ...

Russia pre empted the March 1, 2022 planned invasion of the Donbass region by Kyiv .

They then had active forces of 90 000 and faced the UAF who numbered 180 000 --- 200 000 .

Moscow had "tolerated" continuous conflict from Kyiv for eight years and around 15000 people had been killed plus all other associated damage .

So re-think the nonsense that has been planted in your head about a Russian invasion .

Dombass is Ukrainian territory occupied by Russian insergents. The Russians should go home and stay there. My family were in Czechoslovakia in 1968 during another Russian invasion, so they can fuck off and stay there.

Because what happens if the US manages to get countries like Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries to stop dealing with the US and the US's allies? Then they'll find a distinct lack of oil, higher prices etc etc.

I don’t love Russia, I just don’t have absurd hatred for them.

You love Ukraine so much, why don’t you “piss off” and go there?
