The MSM’s outrageous misreporting on Ukraine

I posted official Russian document to verify info with translation. If you have trouble seeing, download images & then you can zoom to enlarge.
Because grain is shipped in the spring after it is harvested. Right...
It's no children's book DR. Look into the mirror and behold the horror of being an Orc. Note your sloped forehead, if you can, the slobber dripping down your lips, the vacant stare of your eyes. This is not normal, DR, no matter what your momma told you.
Starving Ukrainians… it’s a Russian thing.
The deepest place in hell awaits Putin, and Satan’s imps are stoking the fires in preparation, just as they did for Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot before him. The sooner someone can put him there, the better.
I’m guessing you never heard of winter wheat.
It’s amazing to read these threads and see the lengths of fantasy and ignorance Putin fluffers will go to in order to cast doubt on anything that puts the Russians in a negative light.
Trolls, orcs - you’re all the same to me.
Absolutely. With the Russian invaders behaving like the “orcs” depicted in Tolkien’s work, that term is a very apt label.
Stored grain can be shipped at any time. My neighbor sent out a several truck-fulls last week.
They have these things called grain silos...

I researched WHY Russia is stealing Ukrainian grain
“Droughts, death of winter crops and a shortage of migrant workers for seasonal field work hit Russia’s 2021 harvests, which was down to a three-year low, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture reports. By contrast, Ukraine had one of its best harvests ever.
Russian farmers had taken in 120.7mn tonnes of grain at the end of 2021, which was 9.6% more than in 2020, according to RosStat statistics. But the grain harvest was at a 3-YEAR LOW, less by almost 15mn tonnes from the previous year.
The WHEAT HARVEST FELL TOO, by 12%, or 10mn tonnes, and amounted to 75.9mn tonnes, off from the Ministry of Agriculture’s start-of-season forecast of 81mn. The BARLEY harvest FELL by 14% to 18mn tonnes but the corn harvest was up by 6% more than a year earlier at 14.6mn tonnes.
“The DECREASE in the volume of cereals was due to the death of winter crops due to DROUGHT in many regions of the country,” analysts told the finanz.ru website.”
Falling crop harvests were experienced in 2021 by most of the largest exporting countries, including Canada, Brazil and the United States, where, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, wheat harvest were at their lowest levels in the past 19 years.
A SUPPLY GAP, coupled with RISING DEMAND and RECORD PURCHASES by China for the state food reserve, pushed the average price of wheat on world markets up 31% y/y, according to an estimate by FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations).
The FAO Aggregate Food Price Index, which takes into account the prices of 95 staple foods, added 23% last year to its highest level in a decade.
“NOT a very good harvest,” warned Kirill Tremasov, director of the monetary policy department of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, which will feed high inflation in 2022, he added. At the end of last year, according to RosStat, FOOD INFLATION hit a six-year high of 10.6% in 2021.
UKRAINE HAS BUMPER HARVEST
By contrast, Ukraine had its biggest harvest ever, bringing in 106mn tonnes of cereals, legumes and oilseeds in 2021 thanks to favorable weather conditions in 2021, according to Roman Leshchenko, the Minister of Agriculture.
The record harvest included more than 84mn tonnes of cereals and legumes, as well as 22.6mn tonnes of oilseeds. According to Leshchenko, the harvest exceeded the ministry’s preliminary forecast, estimated at 100mn tonnes for the year.
The UKRAINE harvest alone will add 0.8% to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), according to the National Bank’s report released in October 2021. In 2020, Ukraine’s agriculture sector generated roughly 9% of its GDP.
The country exported roughly $18bn worth of agricultural products, up by $2.6bn compared to 2020, according to the State Statistic Service of Ukraine.
In 2021, China was the largest importer of Ukrainian agricultural goods, India imported $1.35bn worth of agricultural goods, followed by th Netherlands with $1.2bn.

I can’t think of anything that would enrage the Ukrainians more than a stunt like this.
SUMMATION: RUSSIA STEALS UKRAINE GRAIN because falling crop harvests were experienced in 2021 by most of the largest exporting countries: Canada, Brazil and the United States, where, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, wheat harvest were at their lowest levels in the past 19 years.
A SUPPLY GAP, coupled with RISING DEMAND and RECORD PURCHASES by China for the state food reserve, pushed the average price of wheat on world markets up 31% y/y, according to an estimate by FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations).
“[RUSSIA] NOT a very good harvest,” warned Kirill Tremasov, director of the monetary policy department of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, which will feed high inflation in 2022, he added. At the end of last year, according to RosStat, FOOD INFLATION hit a six-year high of 10.6% in 2021.
UKRAINE HAS BUMPER HARVEST
By contrast, Ukraine had its biggest harvest ever which would increase gross domestic product (GDP), especially as
Its from Tolkien, and its not a kids fantasy book. Its Christian allegory, and a political-cultural treatise.
Like any good story, kids versions showed up. Just as you can find kids versions of the Odyssey.
The orcs were the corrupted slave-warriors of a being that had fallen entirely into the sin of pride, and is damned. The Lord of the Rings can be seen as a compendium of examples and the vast permutations of the sin of pride. The orcs are the wretches men become under the power of such a creature.
But why do I talk to you? You are uneducated, and I suspect uneducable.
You really need to get out more. You’ve got Russia on the brain.
No, Ukraine. It isn’t the Russian people that are the problem: IT IS PUTIN!
bkmk
I wonder what our "rah-rah Putin" crowd will say to this action by Putin's army
Orcs and Hobbits aren’t “kids fantasy” - those are from Tolkien books and are properly “high fantasy”
“They’re admitting now that their lack of crops is due to the bite of foreign sanctions “felt acutely.””
Sound like another case of the IDIOCY of sanctions.
