The research relied on both the inductive and deductive approaches, and the descriptive and historical approach was relied upon when reviewing the theoretical dimensions of the research. The research also used the method Analytical with regard to analyzing data on the Russian and Ukrainian economies and the global economy, as well as when analyzing the effects of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the global economy, through analyzing data issued by the competent authorities.

Since the outbreak of the conflict, wheat prices in local markets in Libya have risen significantly, forcing a number of bakeries to close. The global economy has also faced a number of challenges in light of the Russian war on Ukraine. It has declined. Global growth from 6% in 2021 to 3.2% in 2022, then 2.7% in 2023, due to the noticeable economic slowdown in the largest economies, as the United States’ gross domestic product contracted in the first half of 2022 and a contraction witnessed in the Eurozone in the first half of 2022. The second of 2022, and forecasts indicate that global inflation will rise from 4.7% in 2021 to 8.8% in 2022.
