The African Union is calling for the immediate resumption of a UN-brokered deal that allows Ukraine to export millions of tonnes of grain, which was terminated at Russia’s whim.

lol didn’t all the Russia fans claim that all the grain went to Europe anyways after Russia left the deal? That Africa won’t care and China can feed itself? Turns out that was absolute bullshit as usual from the concern trolls and “neutrals”.

Oh my God I keep running into the same Russian troll. He posts an article that is clearly Russian propaganda, I post 5+ news sources that prove him wrong, he uses a bot net to downvote me and then tries to attack my character using anything he can. He commented, then deleted, then reposted under a different name to make it seem like it isn’t one person or the same group of people. Dumb fucker doesn’t realize 1)I’m Indian living in the US and 2) I can see the same 40 aliases that upvote his every word
Dude WILL NOT respond to the links, just tries to say since my account is new I don’t know anything, or some other farcical straw man that doesn’t counter the points I’ve made. We need to push back against these asshats

According to the Russian president, Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, the Central African Republic and Eritrea will receive the grain.
Putin claimed that the Russian Federation withdrew from the “grain agreement” because it did not justify the humanitarian purpose of reducing the risk of famine in the poorest countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America.
“Did not justify the humanitarian purpose” according to whom? Russia’s own judgement, I assume?
Sending free grain to six countries is nice, but what about the ones in Asia and Latin America that Russia claims to be so worried about? I don’t expect that to be addressed at a summit intended for Africa, but I’m curious… and skeptical.

He’s buying loyalty and blackmailing the countries that don’t support him. It’s petty and very insiduous.

Yes, especially when he’s the one causing the crisis, then “helping” so he can look like the nice guy.
