COMBATE @upholdreality Jul 22 Russia on the Grain Deal at the UN Security Council: "Most of you expressed, in one way or another, disappointment at the termination of the so-called grain deal that provided for exports of Ukrainian grain to global markets. I have a question to you. What was it that you expected? From the very start, we have been drawing everyone’s attention to the fact that the initiative did not meet the initially proclaimed goal and was gaining a well-defined commercial nature. In fact, from the very beginning, developed countries have taken the lead among those buying food from Ukraine. However, no steps were taken to remedy this trend. During the Black Sea Initiative, a total of 32.8 million tonnes of cargo was exported, of which more than 70% went to high- and upper-middle-income countries, including the European Union. The poorest states, notably Ethiopia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Sudan, and Somalia, accounted for less than 3%... Such geography and commercialization of an initially humanitarian initiative is easily explained by the fact that the owners of a significant part of Ukrainian arable land (more than 17 million hectares) are Western corporations Cargill, DuPont and Monsanto. They bought up Ukrainian land after Kiev lifted a 20-year moratorium on its sale at the request of the IMF and became the main beneficiaries of Ukrainian grain exports. On the other hand, the Europeans who buy Ukrainian food at dumping prices then process it at home and resell as ready-to-consume goods with high added value. In other words, they earn twice. What does this have to do with the task of getting food delivered to the poorest countries, about which we have heard again today?" https://nitter.moomoo.me/upholdreality/status/1682769951289950208#m Some good comments too, like these: Josie Crilley @JosieCrilley  Africa is beautiful @beuatifulAfrica 12h Replying to @upholdreality If ordinary Ukrainians were to interrogate how the successive western backed governments have exploited their land, there would be an immediate counter-revolution. How is it that western corporations get to own 17 million hectares of the most arable land and expatriate all the profits abroad? It’s an absurdity.Meanwhile young able bodied men who would be exploiting this potential are at fronts, fighting a USA proxy war to safeguard its privileges.
