AFP FILE PHOTOTHE sinking last week of the Moskva, the flagship of the Russian Baltic Sea Fleet, could be a pivotal point in the war in Ukraine. The Moskva went under after being struck by missiles launched by Ukrainian forces. There is mounting evidence, too, that before they were redeployed, Russian troops had gone on a killing spree. Similar massacres of civilians in other Ukrainian towns have emerged, triggering condemnations that Russian troops had committed genocide. Ukraine and Russia are also the world's biggest growers of wheat, so expect the prices of local bread and other bakery products to soar as well.
