Ukrainian Soldier Reports Food Shortages In Trenches
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned of the threat of a global economic recession. There is discussion regarding whether an international body like the UN will organize a response to manage global food production. Farm contractors have implemented a £10 per tractor hour surcharge on all field work. Primary producers of meat, dairy, and crops are price takers unable to pass these costs on to consumers. The source noted that prices for certain inputs rose from 65 per litre in February to 10 per litre. Supply shortages are cited as a potential threat to food security. A wife of a soldier from the 108th Territorial Defense Brigade reported that her husband has been in trenches for over 70 days without rotation. She stated that due to food shortages, soldiers are forced to cook with spoiled products, including rotten meat and water.
