Ukraine is one of the world's largest grain producers. Russia, however, is blocking the grain from being exported by loading it on ships in the Black Sea and shipping them to the Mediterranian where they can then have a global reach. With Russia preventing shipment of the grain, there is the fear of a global food shortage that could increase prices in some places and starvation in others.
President Biden made a mistake. The U.S. announced it would target the Russian cruise missiles it was using to block the grain shipments. Biden should not have made his desires public, as Russia then simply moved the missiles to another site.
