It’s a difficult spot to be in, and clearly Putin’s fault, but are these countries grain farmers supposed to go under because they can’t ship the grain out the normal terminals?
People in 3rd world countries are depending on calories grown in this part of the world to literally survive, so there’s no easy answer here.
Subsidize/pay off entirely local farmers for this year based off of 2022 earnings, ship the grain through an inland route to the Mediterranean and get it to the third world countries that need it.
Farmers aren't that large in number and don't make a ton of profit, seems like it's a bit expensive mostly in shipping but you could also be the politicians to prevent a humanitarian disaster not that far from your borders helping prevent another refugee crisis which much of Europe would riot over and could be the final boost needed for the already rising far right.
