At least 38% of the grain exported from Ukraine is shipped to the EU instead of the developing countries in Africa for which it was intended. (El Pais)
According to the report, from more than 2.3 million tons of corn, wheat, barley and other agricultural products exported from Ukraine between August 1 and September 7, about 900,000 tons were sent to the ports of EU member states.
Vladimir Putin on Wednesday accused Western nations of lying when they say that Ukrainian ports are needed to alleviate the risk of famine in poor countries, as a lion’s share of the grain is being exported to Western states.
Yet more projection – they’re actually stealing the grain. Gross
I love how they phrase Putin’s statements as an ‘accusation’ - as if it isn’t just what they are infact doing. Just cause Putin said it, doesn’t mean it’s wrong lol.
Just cause Putin said it, doesn’t mean it’s wrong
Probably the saddest thing lately
“White lives matter more”
This is plain evil. As expected of the Imperial Core.
Explains why prices of bread and other stuff are rising here.
Where’s here?

Thanks
Who’s surprised with this turn of events? Show of hands.
This works just dandy for the overall plan. Europe avoids the much dreaded famine, the “undesirables” starve and thus fall in numbers, and should this cause a repetition of the 2015 migration “crisis”, it will either be used as pretext for a final switch to mask-off fascism, or will put the final nail in EU’s coffin and remove it as USA’s partner/competition - turning it fully into a colony.
I couldn’t put my finger on what the ‘Russia mines the black sea thing’ was about, because I kept thinking how the EU was going to use it’s de-mining story against Russia.
I had not thought of lying in order to grab the food for oneself instead letting third world nations buy them.
But sure, why not make even more enemies while we’re at it?
Our governments apparently don’t have enough of them.deleted by creator
How?

Everything is Russia’s fault as far as these fucks are concerned. Everything.
Nobody is blaming Russia here? It’s Putin blaming the EU + West for lying and spreading propaganda, since after all this talk about Africa, it turns out 38% of the wheat was EU bound (likely for profit).
I believe you but could you link your source?
I found the original article that these articles were quoting but it’s paywalled and the archives aren’t removing the paywall.
Sometimes (as in the case of El Pais) you can get around the paywall by disabling Javascript.
yeah I usually do that but I couldn’t disable it on phone for some reason.
