Russian ships ARE being insured, so long as the price of the commodities is constrained. Russia shipped record amounts of (stolen) wheat last year, and expects to exceed it again this year. Weaponization of commodities shipments has actually improved the plight of food dependent nations. Russia is just trying to hurt the West by spiking grain prices.
“You have to behave within this restrictive framework that we have designed to hurt you for you to have access”
It’s the equivalent someone telling you have to work for 10 bucks an hour when the market equilibrium rate is 15. Is it a surprise the answer is a fuck you with making grain importa to Europe more expensive?
