The U.S. on Thursday accused Russia of using food as a weapon in its war on Ukraine, and in turn, creating a global food security crisis.

But Russia's invasion and blockade of Ukrainian ports are preventing exports of grain and steel. Nick Schifrin reports. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
