      "whyItMatters": "Russia and Ukraine are major exporters of energy, grain and fertilizer, so the war reordered global commodity flows and triggered the largest modern sanctions regime — effects felt in energy and food prices far beyond the region.",

      "whyItMatters": "The region concentrates a large share of world oil and gas and several critical shipping lanes — the Strait of Hormuz and the approaches to the Red Sea — so tension can add a risk premium to energy, raise war-risk insurance and reroute global shipping.",
