from roches warm makes prices skyrocket, bare to will india stay neutral towards moscow? i mean its own economic pain. and the global energy supply crunch has the republic of congo saying it can stuff in to help. this is the adobe of business . i'm janelle dom allow on welcome. ukrainian president vladimir lansky has warned at that blockaded ukraine grain stalks could triple by autumn leading to starvation for millions across the globe. he estimates that number could grow up to 75000000 tons from the current 20 to 25000000 that are blocked his warning cons. after russia said it would allow ukrainian grain exports to leave a via the black sea on wednesday. as roots out for ukraine in grain remain blocked, supply route to russia have also been complicated by western sanctions. here's a look at how that's affecting life inside the country. this warehouse and poodles

on the outskirts of moscow is full, but western sanctions are having an impact on this gym equipment distributor, and supply chains to russia have been disrupted. everything takes longer and cost more. the company director says that the payment method has also changed. what is in those cases, but we're now using a chinese payment system to pay directly and you on on of sake as it has a knock on effect because the one system is not as good as swift coca illness. jim, when you mosul and payments can take up to 8 days, is moving to gene shaminy recently. the situation will likely get worse for gems that rely on high quality american exercise equipment. about 15 percent of russia's fitness clubs are reporting problems. getting spare parts, delivered rushes fitness association, president warrens that have things don't change, jims could lose their customers by the end of this year. we might just have a chance to do you know what these high quality machines from the us, germany and italy or ly october lee,

or we could never make anything like that. well, not at 10 years segment go to position just to meet the sentiments are also empty. hollywood movies are no longer being shown. this chain has already closed down 3 theaters, gardeners that are still of course, i'm disappointed because the new marvel film is being released. news loanable go, so that we can get around it by watching movies on line. but of course, it's not as good notional boomers and fewer shoppers are visiting the malls. but given the sanctions hardly any one wants to get involved politically put in system with its police and harsh laws has too tight grip on the country for that kid. all the a corresponding era shadow is following. the story for us here is how much are western sanctions affecting everyday life or russians both go through moscow's grocery stores? for example, you would think that there are no sections at all. nothing has changed. i would say

that the, the food supply, he and regalato is partial the poorer than in moscow. but if you look at the prices, especially for imported goods, you can see a clear difference compared to the times before the ball. ah, prices have recent substantially for the pot to the drink. but like, like i said, that the supply situation in general has normalized, especially if compared to march when some of storage awards suddenly empty. ah, this is mainly thanks to this liberalization of the rubel, but the sanctions are really halting russia in all industries that depend on supplies from the west, especially all things that rely on migrants. also, more than 1000 west and companies have left russia and to day that there was more bad news from for moscow. big chinese companies such as how are why a hallway are pulling out of rush as well, probably out of fear of becoming targets fullest and sanctioned as well. and you know, you've been covering russia for years and you know, as well that it's been subject to sanction since 2014. how does these sanctions differ from previous ones?

while the new sanctions add significantly significantly strong and to will cost much more damage? i would say at ation, experts for example, agree that in a few years because of a lack of our parts for western aircraft and many plants a will no longer be able to fly at the same applies to gym and high speed to trains from siemens switched around several times a day between moscow in saint petersburg, a lifeline connecting the 2 cities are in the medical industry. components are already missing as well. if a look around trasha you, you can find to western machines, western technology, and now how everywhere these machines needs to be served cat 4 and renewed, and they can probably around for a few years without mandates. but what then then russia might start facing the threat of production closures and lay offs, which would mean more, an employment and a lower standard of living. so it can only get worse perhaps that can the sanction that force vladimir putin to stop this far i think

sanctions alone definitely can not force put into an to the war, put in started it for political reasons. he obviously didn't expect this kind of resistance and is now preparing his country and the whole world for a long war. even if the sanctions cause and deterioration and living standards, even if people in russia no longer have the same food in their fridge. russia propaganda machine can spin this in favor of their narrative, buckle up your belt, people times are getting tough, but the rest is to blame. what the sanctions can do is make life an uncomfortable for the elite. i may be so uncomfortable that they might even think about rebelling and if they stand up, it could lead to putins downfall. thank you very much. my colleague, iraq shadow there for us. india central bank has hiked rates for a 2nd time and as many months as aged as a 3rd largest economy rails, from galloping inflation in the wake of the ukraine war. the reserve bank raised
