The Center for Combating Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine reports that Russia is preparing manipulations on the topic of possible “famine” in Ukraine and the world. This is written in the CCD telegram channel.
On April 6, 2022, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia was destroying agricultural enterprises, agricultural machinery, and blocking seaports in Ukraine because it considered famine as its weapon.
Ukraine is one of the five largest grain exporters in the world! Therefore, the effects of the war are felt in Egypt, Turkey, Bangladesh and Iran, which buy more than 60% of their wheat in Russia and Ukraine.
According to the map of the regions that exported the most grain crops, it is clear that the rocket attacks are not accidental. Their goal is to destroy sowing works and oil depots that service agricultural machinery.
The CCD reports that if it is possible to sow at least 30% of Ukraine’s area, the state will be able to meet the need for domestic consumption.
“As of today, we have enough reserves of products and Ukraine produces 5 times more products than its domestic consumption,” said First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Taras Vysotsky.
