Ukraine-Russia War
How Britain Sabotaged Ukraine Peace by Kit Klarenberg - (@MayadeenEnglish) - 11 May 2024 - Archive
On April 16th, Foreign Affairs published an investigation, documenting in forensic detail how in May 2022 Kiev was a signature away from a peace deal with Russia “that would have ended the war and provided Ukraine with multilateral security guarantees,” which was scuppered by Western powers. The outlet attributes the failure of negotiations to “a number of reasons” - although it’s unambiguously clear the biggest was British Prime Minister Boris Johnson offering President Volodymyr Zelenskyy the blankest of blank cheques to keep fighting.
Kit Klarenberg comments on the following article:

Can you please explain the difference between inflation and the rise of of the cost of living? Please compare and contrast if there are substatially different and not just a different way of saying the same thing. Can we say that disruptions in supply chains in energy and food may affect inflation and/or cost of living? For example in the war in Ukraine since 2022 there had been serious disruptions in both energy and grain, can we exclude the war as a cause of inflation and the rise of the cost of living?
Looking for information on Ukraine agriculture, in particular the so called “black soil”: in particular what is its composition, how deep is it and how other countries compare? Please direct me to academic sources and sites.
