Help me to journey beyond the familiar and into the unknown.
Give me the faith to leave old ways and break fresh ground with you.

FERTILIZER: The biggest buyer of Russian fertilizer is Brazil, which imports about a quarter of all its fertilizer from Russia. Earlier this year, with Russian troops gathering at the Ukrainian border, President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil posed for photos with Mr. Putin in the Kremlin. At the meeting, a week before the invasion, Mr. Bolsonaro said Brazil stood “in solidarity with Russia.” On the same trip, he said Brazil would double its purchases of Russian fertilizers.
After the invasion began, Mr. Bolsonaro said Brazil would remain neutral, and made clear why. “What happens 10,000 kilometers away in Ukraine has reverberations in Brazil,” he said. “We have special business with Russia.”
“For us,” he added, “the question of fertilizers is sacred.”
