The war significantly impacted the export of wheat as well as gas supply. Several sanctions have been imposed by the countries and international organisations on Russia amid the ongoing situation.  

In a recent statement, the military officials of Ukraine claimed that the Russian forces have destroyed and damaged 23 settlements in Donbas.
