Putin decided to send “Russian” grain (probably looted in Ukraine) to poor African countries “for free”
Russians are not even ashamed to be proud of the “quantum leap” in increasing “their” harvest this year, and they usually do not mention that the amount of agricultural products increased due to the captured territories of Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin offered his Turkish counterpart Tayyip Erdogan to send “Russian” grain to poor African countries “for free” as part of the Black Sea Export Agreement, Reuters reports.
“In my phone conversation with Vladimir Putin, he said, ‘Let’s send this grain to countries like Djibouti, Somalia and Sudan for free,’ and we agreed,” Erdogan said in a speech to businessmen in Istanbul.
According to the results of an investigation by the Associated Press and PBS, as of the beginning of October, Russia received at least 530 million dollars from the smuggling of stolen Ukrainian grain from the territories occupied by it, which it spent on the war.
