The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres repeated that Russia’s war in the Ukraine was a war against food supplies, low wheat prices, and survival from starvation worldwide. “Today’s decision by the Russian Federation will strike a blow to people in need everywhere.” “Struggling people everywhere and developing countries don’t have a choice. Hundreds of millions of people face hunger and consumers are confronting a global #cost-of-living #crisis. They will pay the price.”
White House officials claimed the Russians are weaponizing food. “Russia’s decision to resume its effective blockade of Ukrainian ports and prevent this grain from getting to markets will harm people all over the world,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said at a White House briefing.
These claims aren’t true. They are “clashes with shippers’ reality”, a #Bloomberg report acknowledged. Like almost every scheme the #corruptly #clever #Zelensky (lead image, left) and the corruptly stupid Joseph Biden (right) have devised in the current war, the conversion of the fight for Odessa and Ukraine’s other Black Sea ports into a war to starve the hungriest peoples of the world is failing.
