b) Baby formula issue had nothing to do with Russia, was a US only issue and was quickly resolved with Australia companies brought in to backfill supplies.

c) Inflation is partly to do with Ukraine but far more to do with the post-COVID rebound where interest rates were low and central banks were behind the curve and too slow to react.

d) You can't really call this a East versus West situation when countries like Japan have imposed strong measures and both India/China being very opportunistic in buying oil etc but not willing to really stick their neck out to support Russia.
