Peru protests show the wide impact of Putin's war

Violent protests have been breaking out in Peru over the rising fuel costs as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The protests have intensified into anti-government demonstrations with marches and blocked roads. Their president, Pedro Castillo, declared a state of emergency and implemented a curfew for the country. Peru is certainly not new to political unrest. It's difficult to predict how the situation will unfold, the only thing that is fairly certain is that inflation is sure to keep rising.
