   And of course, all of the impacts that this is having, including, for example, on food insecurity.

Add to that conflict, we now have well over 200 million people who are severely food insecure, this is something that leaders in countries around the world are feeling because their people are feeling it. And so and I think it increases the pressure on Russia to end the aggression.
