Warning that fish and chip shops could be forced to close due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine

It is one of the countries national dishes, but it looks like the future of fish and chips may be uncertain due to food shortages caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Industry experts have warned that the ongoing conflict has led to a shortage of four key ingredients and forced chippies to raise prices, or change their menus.
The National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) has said that a shortage of sunflower oil, cod and haddock, and potatoes could see a third of chippies close up shop.
It is the latest product to be hit by the conflict, as the war has seen a knock-on effect on many major supplies. It comes just after supermarkets imposed a restriction on the amount of sunflower oil, due to the supply chain being disrupted since Putin's army invaded Ukraine.
The NFFF said 50% of oil used by the UK's chippies comes from Ukraine - with alternatives such as rapeseed and palm oil becoming more expensive, while up to 40% of cod and haddock comes from Russia, with sanctions hitting North Sea supplies. Meanwhile, fertiliser for potatoes - mainly from Russia - has tripled in price, while Russia also provides much of the flour used to make batter.
Speaking to Sky News NFFF president Andrew Crook has said that many of his members think that the government "does not care" and has urged them to take action now.
He said of the potential shortages: "Act now! We need action before long-term damage is done that can't be repaired. We aren't after handouts. We are a proud industry. But a lot of businesses will go to the wall and we need a long-term strategy to see us through."
James Lipscombe, who owns 40 fish and chip shops across the country, said he had diversified his stock range - adding less-known fish to the menu, like hake -
