Not quite, not globally since WWII and even then it was localized to conflict zones (India/Bengal included due to the fighting in Burma on the Indian border). Also even Stalin just starved Ukraine while exporting their wheat (to use the money from it to build the Donbas industry among other industrial centers).
A normal blockade is against imports to hurt your enemy, and not exports on which the literal survival of many completely neutral countries depends on. Now for the very first time in history (as it's a totally globalised world, where something like this was just unbelievable to happen) this is https://twitter.com/TimothyDSnyder/status/1535617896843452417 and of course you're not outraged. But go and tell me again about "GAE" and "American coup", call the effects of medieval style pillage "grain from Russia" again, you may add some more idiocy about "biolabs" or whatever, go on.

I am not sure what 'globally' means. I am sure there are other instances. Didn't Nigeria blockade Biafra into starvation, and intentionally so?
Globally means we actually probably never had such a situation where a global supplier of food is being blockaded.
Like by the time the Germans occupied Ukraine it was back to (barely) feed the Soviet Union.
Btw some 2 million Soviets starved already after the war ended, because of the war.
Probably. But does that have an effect as to the actual legality of a blockade?
Quite incredible, especially as IIRC the authorities were even exporting food and sending it to Eastern Europe ass well.
They were stealing all kinds of everything from occupied countries, even entire factories, and people too.
Not much changed since then and now.
