The World's food supply may count on it.  Russia is holding back commercial vessels that need to set sail for Asia and Africa with Ukraines massive harvest of grain. 

Host Dana Lewis talks to Sir Lawrence David Freedman Professor of war Studies at King's College London who says a UN coalition of the willing could free up sea lanes. 

And (Ret) Lt. General Ben Hodges, former commander of U.S. Army Europe who says the Russian navy needs to be forced back from naval corridors so food can be exported.
