Ukraine’s grain, 10% of the global supply, is stopped at Ukraine’s ports. The EU’s chief of foreign affairs is calling it a war crime by Russia but Russia says Ukraine is to blame.  What is causing the stoppage?  We hear from farmers harvesting the grain and the people trying to feed the world about what happened to Ukrainian grain and what can be done about it.
