Russia and Ukraine are both major global suppliers of wheat, barley, sunflower oil and other affordable food products that developing nations depend on. They signed separate agreements with the U.N. and Turkey last year to allow food to leave Ukraine’s blockaded ports. The measure mirrors one passed in the early days of the war that applied to speaking negatively about soldiers or the Russian military in general.
