This is some bullshit. The first time Russia blockaded Ukrainian grain in the Black Sea, they had the plausible deniability that they weren't aware it was going to cause mass food shortages in poorer countries. Now they know full well that's what will happen, and they're doing it again.
The West would be justified in clearing a path in the Black Seas themselves, in my opinion. Russia's being little terrorist bitches.
It's not as black and white as that. There's obviously a point where the West would have to push back against Russia. Most likely this grain deal won't be enough for the West to make any significant new moves apart from what they're already doing, but Russia is playing a stupid game by using mass hunger in poorer countries as a pawn in this war.
