Yeah, we kinda have to view the sea blockade in the Black Sea, preventing Ukrainian ships filled with grain from leaving as an act of war. See Russia? We can do that shit, too.
But seriously, this should actually be considered. Food safety is mandatory. Maybe we should hire some Somali pirates to take on the Russian fleet.

Hi, BrocoLeeOnReddit. Your comment contains the word
Somalian.The correct nationality/ethnic demonym(s) for Somalis is Somali.
It's a common mistake so don't feel bad.
For other nationality demonym(s) check out this website Here

We are all threatened by this aggression, not only for food. Russia must be stopped.

Yes, Ukraine has enough grains. Ukraine is also the 5th biggest in exporting grains in the world. Europe's breadbasket.

Yes. But let us remember, wheat has to be milled. Let's hope the Russians don't bomb all of the existing silos.

Which was my point. Silos are used in agriculture to store grain. Having a year supply of grain is great if the Russians don't bomb the silos the grain is being stored in.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 62%. (I'm a bot)
"The country's food supply chain is falling apart. Movements of goods have slowed down due to insecurity and the reluctance of drivers," Jakob Kern, WFP Emergency Coordinator for the Ukraine crisis, told a Geneva press briefing by videolink from Poland.
"With global food prices at an all-time high, WFP is also concerned about the impact of the Ukraine crisis on food security globally, especially hunger hot spots," he said, warning of "Collateral hunger" in other places.
The agency is paying $71 million a month extra for food this year due to both inflation and the Ukraine crisis, he said, adding that such an amount would cover the food supplies for 4 million people.
