European Union foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell has made similar claims, stating in early April: “They are bombing Ukrainian cities and provoking hunger in the world… They are provoking hunger in the world by blocking the exports of wheat and by destroying the storage of wheat in Ukraine.”

According to a UK Ministry of Defence report, grain production is expected to be down a fifth in Ukraine this year, but even if farmers are able to sow and reap their crop in war conditions, once stored in silos they are liable to be bombed by Russia. Exporting the crop is then challenged by Russia blockading Ukraine’s Black Sea ports: grain is a bulk cargo and potentially hundreds of long-distance truck journeys could be required to replace a single ship.

Underlining the importance of keeping Ukraine’s food flowing, the report stated: “Ukraine is the fourth largest producer and exporter of agricultural goods in the world… Reduced grain supply from Ukraine will generate inflationary pressures, elevating the global price of grain.

“High grain prices could have significant implications for global food markets and threaten global food security, particularly in some of the least economically developed countries.”

The United Nations has claimed a global shortage of food that could be triggered by the collapse of agriculture or exports from Ukraine — long known as the ‘breadbasket of Europe’ for its prodigious agricultural output — would see starvation in third-world countries trigger a “hell on earth” migrant crisis.

Russia is going to essentially shell every square foot of the Ukraine. Gain silos are just another target to be rubblized.

Is Russia destroying America’s food processing plants as well?...

Well there is definitely something going on regarding food availability and on a global scale.

But as with inflation and Trump’s election, I doubt it’s all Russia’s fault.

Keep in mind just who is running this war - two villains of immense evil.

They’re totalitarian groups of people who demand control of the whole world on both sides, fighting over who is going to head up the one-world government.

You can be sure of two things. The United States and Ukraine will both be worse off forever. The whole world will be suffering soon enough, because this is just the very beginning of a very long protracted conflict.

It is the stated goal of the WEF and UN Agenda 2030, but let’s blame Russia because shut up.

I really don’t care. They can end this. I am worried about our supply.

The engineering of a global food crisis goes far far beyond Russia and the alleged targeting of Ukrainian grain silos, etc. Beginning to think those who really are engineering such are out paying mofos to write sh*t like this to cover their arses (misdirection).......

The lunatic green assault on fossil fuel production has “engineered” the coming catastrophic food crisis. Natural gas, the core ingredient of fertilizer, is now scarce and expensive. diesel fuel, essential to farming worldwide, is also very expensive. Farmers around the world simply cannot produce food. If there is bad weather in India or china, there will be unsolvable famines, starvation and bloody hunger wars.

the arrogant, elite green lunatics in the west are primarily respobsible for this disaster. However they themselves won’t starve and won’t be held accountable.

The Wagner group has been spending a lot of time in Africa, and the Russian embassy in Ethiopia is being bombarded by Ethiopians volunteering to fight for Russia in Ukraine. It seems probable that Russia has been laying the groundwork for a move on countries in Africa, no doubt to gain access to their resources. Starving people tend to favor the people who feed them.

Russia may be targeting Africa, but I still think China is long-gaming Russia.

Attacking your belligerent’s food supply is standard war making has been for thousands of years. The USA used agent Orange in Vietnam, the USA also blew up dams all across Germany to flood fields. The Japanese blew dikes in China to destroy rice fields. The Romans salted the earth literally. Sherman famously burnt down everything he could in the south fields and all. Hitting the food supply is SOP for warfare. If your enemy is hungry they are weaker and more likely to surrender. Biological warfare is next on the list up from food supply. You infect cattle, chickens and pigs with bioagents to kill them off or cause a mass culling if that doesn’t work you target the population with plague,or some other bacteria the Japanese did it in WWII during the middle ages captured rats which carried plague and dead diseased cattle would be flung over the walls into a sieged city. They didn’t know about bacterium at the time but they did know that those things carried death on them.

When food prices here make basic nutrition inaccessible to the average American, this administration will blame Putin while shipping massive food supplies to Ukraine. I’m sure anyone who prepares for this eventuality will be labelled a “hoarder” and be subject to criminal prosecution for violating unwritten laws. Likewise for anyone who sells food for its actual market value when it becomes scarce. Of course this will only further the scarcity.
