How the war in Ukraine is affecting the rest of the world?
The embargo of Russian oil has driven up the price of gasoline around the world. It is not just America. When Russia invaded Ukraine, the oil markets changed dramatically.
Also, at the present time, Russia is preventing Ukraine from shipping millions of tons of wheat and food products thru the Black Sea. This is creating food shortages around the world, especially bread and wheat products. This has driven the price of food up everywhere.
Unless these hostilities are resolved soon, it could get much, much worse.
