Abstract

The war between Russia and Ukraine has the potential to exacerbate social and economic effects on a worldwide scale, impacting several industries including energy, transportation, and agriculture crisis. Due to their heavy reliance on imports of key foods, the Middle East and North Africa are the most susceptible countries. The COVID-19 epidemic increased worldwide demand, and bad harvests all occurred at the same time as the conflict, further pressuring the food supply, transportation, and gasoline costs. Previous studies identified three categories: countries with diminishing fuel security, those making little advancements, and Latvia, which has undertaken noteworthy initiatives. Sanctions against Russia and the closure of Ukrainian ports due to fighting exacerbate supply chain issues. The New York Times' coverage of the crisis's first 100 days, which stretched from February 24 to May 31, 2022, predicts that it would have serious consequences, including unstable agriculture, a transportation issue, and increasing gasoline costs.
