We even got to Hollywood allegories, they say, we arrange “hunger games” for someone. Propaganda nonsense!
Now to the point:
1. Russia will continue projects to support countries suffering from a food crisis, primarily African. The Russia-Africa summit is coming up at the end of July in St. Petersburg. I do not rule out that these issues will be discussed on its margins.
2. In fact, it is not Moscow that is to blame for the disruption of the “grain deal”, but the collective West in full measure! The obligations to our country, including those approved by the RF-UN Memorandum, have not been fulfilled during the year of the package of agreements. And it is not Russia that has translated the “Black Sea Initiative” into a commercial footing and redirected grain flows towards the EU states that are by no means in distress. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, more than 70% (26.3 million tons) went to countries with high and upper middle income levels, and only 3% went to the poorest.
3. Sea routes for the supply of grain were used by the Kyiv regime for terrorist attacks, including on civilian infrastructure. At the same time, the owners and sponsors of the Zelensky and Co. team, in a Russophobic fervor in general claimed that “it’s up to Ukraine how to wage war.” Thus, the United States covered the war crimes of Kyiv, which were committed, including through “humanitarian corridors.”
Yes, and a note to fans of American blockbusters from the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry: we did not slam the door. Russian President Vladimir Putin made it clear that if the commitments, including to unblock the process of supplying Russian fertilizers and lifting sanctions from the Russian Agricultural Bank, are fulfilled, the opportunity to return to the discussion remains. In the meantime, as US Secretary of State Blinken admitted, by the way, it will not be easy to find an alternative of the same magnitude without Russia. Let them think, and not throw cinematic phrases.
