Less than clever Americans and their subservient European footman are such innovative people... They invented the Boomerang Sanctions, something out of Australia I believe, hahaha! Sanctions so poorly designed that they punish way more those who impose the sanctions then their intended target. When such comic sanctions hit the pockets of consumers with full force those clumsy sanctions will start to fall one by one... Subservient EU is a joke!

Still surprised CGTN has a bunch of anglophones with the exception of SERGIO GARCIA, spewing pro-Western anti-Russian reporting and I can't understand this at all. 1) Russia is on the right side of history. 2) Russia and China are partners, why are you guys badmouthing Russia on your news channel? 3) Is CGTN going to change its name to BBC or CNN?

Sanction on Russia to look tough?..i don't think so..it become backfire.

Conflict has been there for as long as 8years. How's the supply since 8yrs ago? No not the conflict. Sanctions are what contributed to the crisis. Escalation, too.

Farmers are already reducing fertilizer cost over 70% while increasing yield nearly 7% with SNX30-XL nutrient supplement. As one farmer describes it, “It almost feels like cheating!”

America's plans to supply the world by cutting Russian supplies to Europe and overseas countries. Exactly what Donald Trump wanted to embraced.

Rise in all prices in the US is because Democrats shut down much of US oil supply and production, nothing to do with Putin or Ukraine. Some places in California over eight dollars per gallon of gas.

Sanctions Russia. You can . But not effective as they have made preparation much earlier. Food prices, fertilizer, oil ,gas, goods just goes up. How's your utilities bills ??? Need to thank America to give the world a new inflation. Life is already hard.
@catonpillow Says:
True. Hopefully next time the U$ will think twice before using a foreign country to fight Russiа with. Especially when that country is one of the world's major exporters of wheat.
@jeff-sp1fy Says:
The problem is sanctions. You cannot sanction a major exporter of food, energy and resources. Stupid people in governments need to hire real economics people instead of friends and family.
@philiptan2051 Says:
Wheat has already become scarcer each day. Supermarkets in the EU are limiting the purchase of wheat flour to one per customer as the stock of wheat is depleting. Mariupol has fallen into the hands of Russia and the wheat transport from the port of Odessa has stopped. The Europeans are facing a dire situation in the coming months. All due to her own stupidity in encouraging Ukrainian to achieve ‘victory ‘ against all odds and imposing Russia with useless and self destructive sanctions.
@noneshere Says:
All provoked and caused by US and its nato gang.
