Global food crisis
Russia launched in February what it calls a "special military operation" to "demilitarise" and "denazify" Ukraine.
The West in reaction imposed tough sanctions on Moscow, and is providing Kiev both economic and military support.
The military attack has also created a global food crisis as blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports is choking global food supply chains.
