One of the things that surprises me most about the statements of the main European leaders, including the Spanish, is the minimization of the impact of the war in Ukraine and the surprising optimism that comes from their words. They continue to put first the need for a military victory, convey security and confidence in it while ensuring that the economic problems will be solved without difficulty and that it is a price to pay for the defense of the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the right international. The reality is that international law and national sovereignty have been blown up numerous times in the last 20 years in the world but the sanctions on the aggressor countries were not at all those that are now being applied. In most cases they simply have not existed. The question that remains in the air and is not answered is the following: Do all the sanctions packages really basically harm Russia or are the main victims the European countries that stop receiving energy and supplies of food raw materials from Ukraine and Russia? Surprisingly, yesterday the news was published that Germany has increased its imports from Russia by 59.9% in the first four months of this year.
Someone is saying one thing and doing another in this old Europe. Many analysts believe that the Russian economy will be destroyed after this war. Accepting this premise, what good is this result for European citizens if the European and world economy goes into recession? We will all lose from this dangerous situation, but without a doubt those most affected will be the inhabitants of the poor countries of the world. Let's see why. Food prices are skyrocketing in all Australia Phone Number markets. Ukraine has strengthened militarily since 2014 thanks to the huge amounts of money and weapons provided by European countries and the United States. It is in a position to maintain a long war of attrition. The question is whether it will be able to continue with its food exports. Until now he can't do it. Ukraine: one hundred days of war, another thousand more? Ukraine generated 10% of world exports of wheat, of sunflower oil, 15% of corn, of barley and 5% of rapeseed oil. The ports are blocked and their warehouses are bombed by the Russian army. In the month of April, the FAO world food price index had increased by 30% year-on-year and by 62% the average value for 2020. With this year's harvest threatened, price increases above these figures are guaranteed.
Poor countries are the most affected by the rise in food prices Most of their income must be dedicated to it and when prices rise they cannot compete with rich countries, simply because they cannot pay those prices. This means an increase in poverty, hunger and the generation of widespread protests, as occurred with the brutal price increases of 2005-2006 and. Corn prices doubled and in January 2007 protests broke out in the streets of Mexico because people could not buy corn “tortillas.” Subsequently, the price of wheat began to increase and producing countries imposed restrictions on exports to guarantee the supply of their populations. All of this caused the prices of wheat, corn and rice to TRIPLE over 2006 levels by 2008. There were hunger protests in 37 countries, many of them with deaths and harsh clashes between the police and protesters. The conflict in Ukraine: war and hunger, a lot of hunger The model that produced that explosion is still intact. Even more exacerbated by the widespread use of food crops for the production of biofuels.
