How does the war in Ukraine affect the rest of the world?

The war in Ukraine has an obvious impact on those within the country. Outside of Ukraine, the war also continues to have a major effect on the global markets and food supply. worsened a global hunger crisis, with catastrophic impacts throughout the world.

Why is Ukraine grain so important?

Ukraine is historically a large exporter of grain. In 2021, Ukrainian grain fed 400 million people around the world. For the first 5 months of the war, Ukraine was unable to export its grain through its primary shipping routes through the Black Sea.

Countries reliant on this grain suffered as a consequence. Several grain-receiving countries across the Middle East and Africa were already experiencing hunger crises due to conflict and climate change. The war in Ukraine made these hunger crises worse.

What countries are impacted by the war in Ukraine?

isexperiencing one of the worst droughts in recent decades, triggered by six consecutive

In the Middle East, the war in Ukraine has sent prices of wheat and fuel spiraling. Syrian refugees are among the hardest hit, as many do not have the incomes to cover the dramatically increased cost of living.

In Central America, prices for staple foods like white maize are well above the five-year average. Together with climate change and ongoing insecurity, nearly 13 million people across the region face growing hunger.

What is the Ukraine grain deal?

What needs to happen now?

World leaders must ensure that international humanitarian law is upheld and that humanitarian actors are protected and maintain access to help those in need.

The world must also continue to support both the people who fled Ukraine and the millions of refugees and displaced people worldwide. While there has rightly been an outpouring of global support for people fleeing Ukraine, equal empathy must be shown for refugees and displaced people in many other crises around the world including Afghanistan, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Yemen and Syria.

To address the hunger crises hitting East Africa and other regions, donors should urgently channel funding to front line responders who can reach those most in need and deliver the health programming, food and cash assistance, and clean water that people need to survive.

National : "US gasoline prices rose sharply after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and the European Union and the United States imposed economic sanctions."

This is one main affects that accrued in the US due to the War in Ukraine. When an invasion occurs, it creates significant political instability and increases the risk of supply disruptions of oil and gas, which leads to a rise in prices of gasoline.

For Ukraine, the year since Russia's invasion has been one of widespread death, destruction and displacement, as millions had their lives changed forever. Americans got off easy by comparison, with most feeling the impact of the war only at the gas pump.

1. Yes I have started volunteering. I try to to go every Sunday for about an hour and a half. So far,  I have somewhere around 6 hours.

2. Volunteering is such a diverse type of thing. You really have to set a correct and right mindset for it since you are doing this from your own will. At the end it’s all worth it. The experience, emotions, and events, that you get to encounter and speak to people about , while being able to help.

3. My main concerns is to clean, help out, socialize. Its a easy process for me since I’m already very well known and connected to the people that I see at Church, and overall happy  that I’m making it a stronger community than it already is.

4. I have been going got this church since I was little. I’m really thankful for my parents and for being who they are and making me into the kind and great person I am. Reputation is a key factor and when you feel like you have a big one, you realize that you mean a lot to these people and gives you a sense of comfort but , at the same time , wanting to do better.

6. Will finish this Soon.

Sergiy Kyslytsya, Ukraine's ambassador to the United Nations was the guest of honor at the Day of Unity celebrated by the Ukrainian community of Chicago. The day marks the anniversary of the Act of Independence and Unification of the eastern and western part of Ukraine on January 22, 1919. We were also honored with the attendance of Congressman Danny Davis, Congressman Mike Quigley and Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, and also the consuls of Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania, as well as city officials. The struggle for freedom and independence continues to this day, when Ukraine is heroically defending itself from the brutal invasion of russian forces.

MY UN GOAL : Promote justice, peaceful and inclusive societies

1. This UN goal aligns with my project because it promotes my actions to help raise awareness as well as fund the War in Ukraine. With this evidence from the website, "Armed violence and insecurity have a destructive impact on a country’s development, affecting economic growth and often resulting in long-standing grievances among communities.", explains the consequences that may happen without the help of an organization.

2. Article : How Americans view the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine,

This article explains Americans views of The conflict between Russia and Ukraine and brings concern if its even worth to care for Ukraine being attacked by Russia.

3. "the oldest Americans are more likely than younger Americans to perceive them as important to both U.S. national interests and to them personally".

"When it comes to the importance of each conflict to them personally, Democrats are more likely than Republicans to say the Russia-Ukraine war is important to them (65% vs. 56%)", I guess that at the end of the day , it all comes down to politics and how it sort of all divides us. Not everyone has the same opinion of course , but that's why there needs to be more unity and resembles between people so others can join and also have a sense of pride in helping others grow and better themselves through peace, justice , and institutions.

4. Is it worth helping and caring for people around you ?
