Political and economic
The situation in Ukraine is dire and getting worse day by day. This famine is the result of a complex mix of political and economic interests at play. On the one hand, the war has created a disruption in the economic system of Ukraine, leading to high inflation and a lack of basic necessities. The intense fighting has also led to a collapse of the country’s infrastructure, leaving many without access to clean water, good sanitation, and adequate food supplies. As a result, many Ukrainians are now living in extreme poverty and hunger.
The political interests at play in the war are also contributing to the famine. After the Ukrainian revolution of 2014, the Russian-backed separatists have gained control of parts of the country, making the government unable to supply basic services to its citizens. As a result, those living in the separatist-controlled areas are facing a severe food shortage.
At the same time, the Ukrainian government seems to be unable to reclaim these territories and restore order. The government has been unable to get enough support from the international community, while also struggling with its own internal divisions. As a result, the war has dragged on, leaving millions of people in desperate need of food and other basic necessities.
