Putin is weaponzing food. Here is what is happening.
Ukraine is the 5th largest wheat exporter, and the top sunflower oil exporter in the world, and its crops can feed 400 million people around the world.
Grain from last years harvest is being stolen by Russia according to satellite images.
This grain usually gets out of Ukraine via ports in the Black Sea. While this way is not currently feasible, some grain is getting out via land, but this is not enough.
Africa imports lots of food from Ukraine, and there are already food shortages in Africa.
The Head of African Union and Senegalese president had a meeting with Putin recently, to strike a deal with Putin on grain.
Putin needs allies in this war, and this is one way he is doing so.
Food is a critical item that every country needs - and the WTO have warned that a global food crisis is nearing, and the UN warns 1.6bn people around the world can face hunger.

The US Supreme Court has removed the constitutional right to abortion, allowing states to ban abortion.
Almost half the states are expected to outlaw or severely restrict abortion as a result of the Supreme Court's decision on a Mississippi case known as Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
Although it is possible for women to carry out this procedure in other states, doctors state that it is likely that poorer women may have to resort to illegal and unsafe methods.
Many world leaders and UN have condemned this ruling.

JUST IN: British PM Boris Johnson will be resigning according to the BBC.
It follows a dramatic 48 hours which saw dozens of ministers resigning in protest at his leadership. A total of 60 ministers have resigned.
His reputation has been damaged, after reports on his downing street party during lockdown, months of scandals and missteps and his decision to send immigrants to Rwanda, which some say violates human rights regulations.
He will stay on as caretaker prime minister until October, with a new Conservative leader set to be installed in time for the party’s annual conference.
He is due to make a statement soon, the BBC said.
