Russia has ended the grain corridor deal, which allowed Ukraine to export agricultural products through the Black Sea. China was the largest recipient of those products, receiving almost one-quarter of them. A significant percentage went through United Nations food programs to Africa, making them a key weapon in the fight against hunger. Being a purveyor of cruelty and misery, Russia doesn’t care.
What Russia doesn’t realize is that the grain corridor deal didn’t just protect shipping to and from Ukraine, but Russian shipping as well. Barring a last-minute reversal, the Black Sea is now the newest battleground in this godforsaken war.
