now, a tool like you, wouldn't understand that prices of wheat is established by an international market - if the EU doesn't want to buy it, somebody else will - levying a tax after it has landed and prices paid to the Russian exporters, means you are ONLY hurting your own consumers.

so that means the Gov want extra tax from its own people, and using the Russian bogeyman as an excuse!!!

of course, it also protect the farmers of their country, from being out-competed by food imports from outside.

Selling to EU saves a lot including logistics and hard cash. Putin will have to provide loans or aid to sell to many countries and cash may never return to oligarch's bank accounts.
