Impact of Putin's War on Africa

 The Hill published on 11 May 2022 a commentary titled "The Costs of Russia's War in Ukraine -- from Kharkiv to Khartoum" by K. Riva Levinson, head of a Washington-based consultancy that works on global emerging markets.

The author argues that Russia's invasion of Ukraine will likely worsen GDPs, increase inflation, and cause shortages of basic food stocks and commodities that spike the cost of living for Africa's poor.
