Wheat is not the only problem, fertilizer prices are also disrupted and it might get worse.

Next to the deaths in Ukraine, we might thank Putin for 100 million plus deaths by famine within the 3 years.

We could simply not sanction agriculture-related exports. That would be moral, IMO.

We are well past sanction stories and moved into national security by banning export: https://tradingeconomics.com/china/exports-of-fertilizers

The only real solution i see is to stop feeding the animals with stuff humans could eat and make a point of global solidarity. I say this as a avid meat eater, but I'm not holding my breath.

It's not the sanctions directly. Putin is retaliating by instructing that fertilizer not be exported to the west.
