onthedarkside Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia announced Saturday that it will move to suspend its implementation of a U.N.-brokered grain deal that has seen more than 9 million tons of grain exported from Ukraine during the war and has brought down soaring global food prices. The Russian Defense Ministry cited an alleged Ukrainian drone attack against Russia’s Black Sea Fleet ships moored off the coast of occupied Crimea, which Russia says took place early Saturday, as the reason for the move. Ukraine has denied the attack, saying that the Russians mishandled their own weapons.

herfiehandbag Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 The trouble with all such "brokered deals" is that all you are effectively doing is handing over hostages to dictators like Putin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbin Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Russian Federation could not be screwing up more if that had been the intended plan all along... While I'm somewhat sympathetic to the ordinary Russian, at this point I have to admit to looking forward to the inevitable loss of quality of life in that nation.. Shunned by all nations, save for those they are paying (with what?) to be their friends. Som nam na... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you're trying to mitigate the horror of it and treat it as though the onus for it doesn't lie on one side or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia stopping grain ships from the Ukraine from sailing yet offering Russian grain free to interested countries. This news hot off the Pravda press in Ukraine. I wonder whose grain the Russian people will eat? ???? ???? Edited October 30, 2022 by billd766 added extra text 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
