→Why Russian sanctions are in trouble right now
[[Ukraine]] is landlocked. All its port access to the [[Black Sea]] has been cut off. It cannot [[export]] grain. It [[agricultural]] sector is collapsing. Russia has assured the [[Global South]] it will pick up the contracts and supply them with the shortfall due to Ukraine's collapsing exports.

There's a global food & fertilizer [[crisis]] due to [[Russian sanctions]] and the closure of the [[Strait of Hormuz]]. So the nations of the Global South are faced with (a) letting their [[population]]s starve, or (b) violating [[US]] & [[EU]] [[economic sanctions]] and buying Russian grain (thus expanding Russia's [[trade3 surplus]] and fueling Russia's "war machine".
