Most economies worldwide have been contracting this year, along with price inflation on commodities including food.

If the intent of Russian sanctions was to increase prices of food and fuel in USA to harm the working poor in USA, then Russian sanctions are going great.

Russia’s economy, from what I’ve read, is contracting much more with sanctions than without them. I think it’s clear and obvious that the EU did not impose sanctions on Russia for the purpose of increasing prices of food and fuel for poor people in the U.S. The EU and the U.S. have announced the reason for sanctions. There are secondary effects of the sanctions and I believe that food price increases are more a result of global supply chain issues and Russia preventing Ukraine from fully exporting its products.
