Western officials and media accuse Russia, conducting its special military operation in Ukraine, of worsening the situation on the global food and energy markets. In addition to existing financial, diplomatic, political and other restrictions, the West is waging an anti-Russian information campaign, blaming Moscow for the global food and energy crises. In practice, the food and energy crises have long existed in certain states and regions, as well as at the global level, going through transformation, aggravation and mitigation phases, depending on a combination of causes. The authors do not deny a certain impact of the geopolitical events on the stability of the energy and food systems. Yet its real effect is much lower. The profitability of speculations on global and local food and energy markets, the effectiveness of the G7 measures to control prices and pricing, the firm intention to further the sanctioning pressure on the Russian fuel and energy complex, the pilot launch of mechanisms to collect rents from the global fuel and energy complex in favor of the West, the consolidation of the goals of decarbonizing the world economy in binding regulations at the national, regional and global levels indicate that the West’s anti-Russian reactionary measures are of a consistent nature and in the future may be deployed against other actors to achieve their political and economic goals. In a practical sense, this necessitates a consolidation of efforts and a change in the strategy of Russia and its friendly states toward Western countries to reduce dependence on their information agenda and political actions aimed at instigating
crises in various spheres.
