The Russian state is concerned by demographic decline (current article in RT, which I won’t be able to link to here): there’s been plenty on the demographic issues of Ukraine, which does lack men in their 20’s, which is hindering call up to fight. This is part of the background radiation of this fight (certainly, it will take decades for Ukraine to recover from its losses as it is).

Can NATO forever hold back the war-mongering eastern European members on the Russian border?
EU cannot sanction Russian foodstuffs, but can impose tariffs (given the strife over tariffs for Ukraine, these may be substantial).
“In a call between Von der Leyen and the Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, on March 15 – where the possibility of trade restrictions against Russia was raised – the stated concern was “how to support agriculture in Poland and Europe”. Or put another way, how to address Polish farmers’ protests about EU imports of Ukraine grains, which are hurting the internal EU market. The call was not about how to punish Russia, although it could be argued the two are inextricably linked.”
Let’s remember our case that Tariffs are a fundamental cause of strife between capitalist factions.
Pointedly, the EU will not prevent transit of Russian foodstuffs.
Seen this a while ago.
