In other words "nobody wants to buy the grain I stole from Ukraine".
Even worse, the sanctions don't even apply to grain exports.
As much as I think Russia is a hellish pit that radiates evil, even I recognize that the intentionally fragile global economy requires Russian grain to flow freely if we don't want half of Africa (and probably part of Douth America) straight up federating with Russia.
Yes, which is why the sanctions don't apply to grain exports...
Yes, I'm saying that I hold my nose and agree with the sanctions not applying to grain exports
But they sure have made it harder to export it and transport it.
