[b] For example, U.S. Senator Joni Ernst just told Fox Business that our planet is facing “impending famine”…

ABOUT 40 TO 45 PERCENT OF THE PRODUCTION IN UKRAINE WILL BE DECREASED THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE WAR AND THE SCARCITY OF SUPPLIES THAT GO INTO THE PLANTING SEASON. AND WE KNOW THAT UKRAINE ALSO SUPPORTS ABOUT 400 MILLION PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WITH ITS FOOD PRODUCTS. SO WE DO SEE THAT WE HAVE AN IMPENDING FAMINE. AND I’VE HEARD FROM DAVID BEASLEY AT THE WORLD FOOD BANK THAT HE’S NOW GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE FROM THE HUNGRY TO FEED THE STARVING.

And U.S. Senator Cory Booker
“DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS NEED TO QUICKLY COME TOGETHER AND APPROVE EMERGENCY GLOBAL FOOD AID IN ORDER TO PREVENT TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING MILLIONS OF CHILDREN, FROM DYING OF STARVATION,” SENATOR CORY BOOKER, A DEMOCRAT FROM NEW JERSEY, TOLD REUTERS.

They aren’t exaggerating.


Even Joe Biden recently admitted that food shortages are “going to be real”.

The one thing that could provide a ray of hope would be an end to the war in Ukraine.

But it appears that isn’t going to happen any time soon. In an interview with Fox News on Friday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that his nation will not accept anything less than “victory” in the war…

SPECIAL REPORT’S BRET BAIER INTERVIEWED UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY ON FRIDAY EVENING, TOUCHING ON A WIDE VARIETY OF TOPICS, INCLUDING WHAT A VICTORY LOOKS LIKE FOR UKRAINE AND WHAT PUTIN IS HOPING TO ACHIEVE.

BAIER ASKED THE UKRAINIAN LEADER AT THE START OF THE INTERVIEW HOW HE BELIEVES THE “WAR WILL END” PROMPTING AN EXPLANATION FROM ZELENSKYY THAT ONLY “VICTORY” WILL BE ACCEPTABLE TO HIS COUNTRY.

Good luck with all that.

Now that the Russians have pulled their forces away from Kiev to focus on the eastern front, there is a lot less pressure on Zelenskyy to compromise on a peace deal.

And the fact that this conflict has made him one of the biggest celebrities on the entire planet actually gives him an incentive to keep it going.

Meanwhile, millions upon millions of people are already deeply suffering. In Somalia, we are being warned that an “impending famine” is at the door…

WHAT WE ARE NOW SEEING IS IMPENDING FAMINE SIMILAR TO THAT WHICH OCCURRED IN 2010/2011 IN WHICH MORE THAN A QUARTER OF A MILLION PEOPLE DIED – INCLUDING 133,000 CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE. ALTHOUGH SOME DONORS HAVE COMMITTED TO FUND SOMALIA’S HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE PLAN (HRP) WHICH SEEKS US$1.5 BILLION, NOT EVEN 4% OF FUNDING REQUIRED TO MEET SOMALIA’S HUMANITARIAN NEEDS HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED. LIKE THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS, WHICH HAD IMPACTED MANY OF SOMALI HOUSEHOLDS, THE UKRAINE CRISIS HAS DRIVEN INFLATION AND RISING COSTS IN SOMALIA, PARTICULARLY FOR FOOD AND ENERGY, AT A TIME WHEN FAMILIES ARE ALREADY INCREDIBLY DESPERATE.

The reason why the situation in Somalia has become so desperate is because that nation normally gets more than 90 percent of its wheat from either Russia or Ukraine…

FINALLY, IN THE HORN OF AFRICA 13 MILLION PEOPLE ARE ALREADY SUFFERING FROM HUNGER. ETHIOPIA IMPORTS AROUND 40 PERCENT OF ITS WHEAT FROM RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, KENYA 30 PERCENT, AND SOMALIA OVER 90 PERCENT.

Meanwhile, the food crisis in Yemen just continues to escalate. One man that was recently interviewed admitted that he and his family “live like ants”…

EXPERTS ARE WARNING THAT THE WORLD FACES A HISTORIC FAMINE. THE WAR IN UKRAINE IS ONLY ONE OF MANY PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD.

IN YEMEN, GHALIB AL-NAJJAR SKIPS MEALS SO THAT HIS CHILDREN HAVE ENOUGH FOOD. HE SAYS HE AND HIS FAMILY “LIVE LIKE ANTS OR FISH…WE EAT WHAT WE CAN FIND.”

In Peru, rapidly rising prices for fuel and food have sparked massive nationwide protests…

AN ONGOING WAVE OF VIOLENT PROTESTS IN PERU SHOWS HOW THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE IS AFFECTING MARKETS AROUND THE WORLD, SPARKING UNREST AND DEEPENING POLITICAL DIVIDES.

RISING FUEL COSTS ORIGINALLY TRIGGERED THE PROTESTS, WHICH STARTED LAST WEEK, BUT QUICKLY INTENSIFIED INTO LARGE ANTI-GOVERNMENT DEMONSTRATIONS WITH MARCHES AND ROAD BLOCKADES.
