How Russia's war and international sanctions impact global energy and food security | DW News

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, oil prices have been surging. Leading industrial nations now want to tap their oil reserves to mitigate the situation for consumers and companies. The International Energy Agency wants to release 60 million barrels of crude oil reserves. That's about four percent of all emergency reserves of one and a half billion barrels. Meanwhile, Western oil companies continue to scale down their operations in Russia with Italy's Eni now joining Shell and BP.
