Russia is once again blackmailing the world with hunger.
Russia is the only reason why people in particular, in Ethiopia, Yemen or Somalia, they remain with a catastrophic food shortage. This is how President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on Russia's exit from the grain agreements.
He noted that a bulk carrier with 40,000 tons of wheat for Ethiopia, which is experiencing the painful situation with food.
The president commented on Russia's arguments for withdrawing from the agreement.
“What did the world hear? That someone allegedly launched a drone from a grain truck. First they talked about war birds, then about war insects, now war grain is the killer wheat from which Russian admirals are drowning. What can you say? Sick people. But these sick people are putting the world on the brink of a food crisis. Russia is the only one to blame for the fact that food products will now become more expensive for various people in a vast space from West Africa to East Asia.”
Zelensky also noted that the partners are trying to convince the terrorist state to reduce the blackmail a bit. However, so far the facts indicate that the leadership of Russia is more interested in exacerbating the food crisis than in the execution of signature documents.
“And this is the answer to all those who say about negotiations with Russia. The grain corridor is a very good example. There is now 218 evidence that Russia does not want any real deals”.
