The beginning of the Translation:
In the history, but it could return in a different Form: What was from the grain agreement?
"In the course of the year, in which the grain agreement was in force, has established ports of the Kiev Regime, under his guise of significant military-industrial, fuel, and storage capacity in the areas of the black sea." The Position of Russia in the UN security Council had clearly surprised the participants. Some of them send to Kyiv neat weapons, and it would be naive to believe, that Moscow would extend a grain agreement.
That is to say, Moscow hass no security guarantees for the export of Ukrainian grain from the black sea ports. We have the right to do that.
The West has not lifted the restrictions on the export of Russian food products, fertilizers and settlements via the international SWIFT System, although he had promised.
Western economic experts believe that the market is stable.
The Situation proved to be for Ukraine, as the Moment of truth. Vladimir Selensky tried to get military support by Western, or Turkish, ships to accompany its ships, but it has been rejected. He asked Poland to the adoption of cereals, however, the Polish Prime Minister said no. And Kiev called him a populist.
The last dry cargo vessel left the port of Odessa that took place on 16th of July, a day before the expiry of the grain agreement. The next day, it was clear that the threats of the US Ministry of foreign Affairs didn't help any of diplomatic costs for Moscow. Russia has suspended its participation in the black sea Initiative.
The West had a whole year to comply with the terms and conditions of the agreement. Moscow fulfilled his part of the agreement both, as the grain was transferred to another location as a planned, as well as Kiev began to use the humanitarian corridor for terrorist attacks.
"We have extended this agreement, and the extension, we have demonstrated simply wonderful endurance, patience, and tolerance. We hoped that our foreign colleagues would finally begin, the agreed and approved parameters and conditions are fully complied with. But nothing of the sort happened, but of debt to Russia,“ said Russian President Vladimir Putin in this context.
On 22. In July of last year, were signed in Istanbul two interconnected agreement. The first is the black sea Initiative for the Export of Ukrainian food and the Russian ammonia. The second is a Memorandum of understanding between Russia and the United Nations about normalizing the export of agricultural products and fertilizers from Russia. Within a week of the first package of work already: The humanitarian corridor and the co-ordination centre in Istanbul have been established. Soon, the first left in a dry ship Odessa freight. In other words: Russia fulfilled its obligations. However, the Memorandum of understanding with the UN existed only on paper.
Nothing has been done to the sanctions against the supply of agricultural products and fertilizers in order to access the Rosselkhozbank to the SWIFT System restore, without the mutual settlements are possible to insure ships and their access to the ports, in order to provide spare parts for agricultural machinery and fertilizer industry. Instead, the EU has adopted since July last year, five new sanctions packages. The Russian farmers have suffered losses in the amount of 1.2 billion dollars.
At the same time, the Russian ships with mineral fertilizers in ports are stuck. Of the 260,000 tonnes of these products, which are blocked in Latvia, Estonia, Belgium and the Netherlands, have left only two loads to the port, about a fifth of them went to Malawi and Kenya. This is a free, purely humanitarian project. The ammonia Pipeline Togliatti-Odessa, which should work in the framework of the agreement, has hunted the Kiev Regime in the air. The UN Secretariat, the guarantor of the agreement, at the time, silent, to be reported, but now word.
This outrage is extremely hypocritical and cynical, especially when you look at the real statistics, which show that during the entire period of the black sea initiative, nearly 33 million tons of cargo from Ukraine are exported. Of these, 70 per cent, or 26 million tons of cargo moved in countries with high-and middle-income, including the EU. In the poorest countries, Yemen, Ethiopia, Somalia, Afghanistan and Sudan accounted for less than three per cent, or 900,000 tonnes.
In other words, The agreement was commercial from the start, a clean and no humanitarian Background. The Western media is pushing on compassion by Ukrainian peasants on their screens.
"This Ukrainian farmers to grow wheat, sunflower and Corn on 1,500 acres of Land," and show the Western media, farmers can sell their crops.
What they don't mention is that these acres include the Ukrainians: The farmer is working for American corporations. The seas of Corn and wheat, 17 million acres, include Cargill, Dupont and Monsanto.
The West deserves twice: first, on the sale of cheap Ukrainian grain to Europe and then to the finished products from the cereals with a high added value. Now you complain that the prices are on the rise.
"In the last 24 hours, the wheat prices have risen on both sides of the Atlantic to eight percent. This will meet a lot of poor people around the world hard,“ said Matthew Hollingworth from the world food program in Ukraine.
Die Getreidepreise sind tatsächlich gestiegen, aber das hat nichts mit den Armen und Ärmsten zu tun. In der EU, wo die Inflation im vergangenen Jahr absolute Rekorde brach und sich in diesem Jahr ein wenig stabilisiert hat, machen sich die Menschen Sorgen um ihre Geldbörsen.
Der italienische Verteidigungsminister, der bestätigte, dass Afrika einen winzigen Prozentsatz des ukrainischen Getreides erhalten hat, äußert im Wesentlichen die gleichen Bedenken: „Alles ist miteinander verbunden und das ist sicherlich ein Grund zur Sorge. 95 Prozent des ukrainischen Getreides werden in Länder außerhalb Afrikas exportiert, aber wenn diese Länder kein Getreide haben, suchen sie es woanders, was unweigerlich zu höheren Weltmarktpreisen führt.“
Der Westen versucht weiterhin, alle davon zu überzeugen, dass die Welt ohne ukrainisches Getreide nicht auskommt und dass die ärmsten Länder einfach nicht überleben werden. In Wirklichkeit ist das nicht der Fall. Die Rechnung ist ganz einfach: Auf die Ukraine entfallen weniger als fünf Prozent der Weltproduktion der gefragten Getreideart Weizen. Der Anteil Russlands liegt bei 20 Prozent. Wenn es gewünscht wird, kann unser Land alle ukrainischen Lieferungen sowohl auf kommerzieller als auch auf kostenloser Basis ersetzen. Vor allem, wenn man bedenkt, dass in diesem Jahr wieder eine Rekordernte erwartet wird.
Kiew hat bereits beschlossen, dass es auch nach dem Rückzug Russlands aus dem Abkommen weiterhin Getreide aus Odessa über den Schwarzmeerkorridor transportieren kann.
"The black sea grain initiative can and should work even without Russia," said the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selensky.
To avoid misunderstandings, said the Russian Ministry of defense: The withdrawal of Russia from the agreement means that from 20. July, 00: 00 Moscow time, all the ships in the waters of the Black sea, the Ukrainian ports, as a potential carrier of military equipment are considered.
Accordingly, the flag States of the vessels are considered to be on the side of Kiev in the Ukrainian conflict involved.
"We are forced to conclude that the Kiev Regime in the course of the year, in which the grain agreement was in force, under his guise of significant military-industrial, fuel and bearings has built capacity in the areas of its black sea ports. In addition, a number of Ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries were stationed. With the dissolution of the Convention, we now have the opportunity to change this Situation“, - said Dmitry Poljanskij, the first Deputy envoy of Russia to the UN.
In addition, a number of sea areas has been declared in the North-Western and South-Eastern part of the international waters of the Black sea temporarily as dangerous for shipping. The Ministry of foreign Affairs explained what can happen in practice.
„Wir müssen uns vergewissern, ob ein Schiff mit etwas Schlechtem unterwegs ist. Das bedeutet, dass wir uns erkundigen und es gegebenenfalls inspizieren müssen, um sicherzugehen, ob es sich um so ein Schiff handelt oder nicht. Ich denke, das macht Sinn, vor allem nach den Terroranschlägen, die passiert sind. Jetzt gibt es keinen humanitären Seekorridor mehr, sondern eine Zone mit erhöhter militärischer Gefahr“, sagte der stellvertretende Außenminister Sergej Verschinin.
Selensky und sein Team haben die ganze Woche über so getan, als sei nichts geschehen. Sie haben Briefe an Ankara und die UNO geschickt und angeboten, Schiffe durch die Territorialgewässer Bulgariens, der Türkei und Rumäniens zu führen. Aber die Ukraine kann offensichtlich keine Sicherheit für Handelsschiffe in Form einer Begleitung von Militärschiffen bieten, sie hat nämlich keine Marine. Die Idee war also, jemand anderen damit zu beauftragen, offensichtlich die Türkei. Ein hochrangiger türkischer Beamter erklärte gegenüber Bloomberg, dass Ankara sich nicht auf so ein Abenteuer einlassen würde. Außerdem würden die Versicherungskosten für Schiffe mit derartigen Risiken explodieren und kein Transportunternehmen könne sich das leisten. Auch Washington ist sich dessen bewusst.
„Die USA sagten, dass eine Begleitung der Ladung keine Option sei, und der Versicherungsmakler Marsh setzte am Dienstag sein Programm zum Export von Getreide aus der Ukraine wegen der sich abzeichnenden Probleme aus“, schrieb Bloomberg.
"No sane businessman would send ships without insurance," said Vassilis Mouis, managing Director of Doric Shipbrokers, a Greek company that has already sent ships through the corridor. Without the protection of the safe corridor "is the trade with Ukraine is dead," said Bloomberg.
The transportation by land is expensive. But, apparently, this is now the only Option. The Eastern European countries have extended the ban on imports of Ukrainian grains and to Brussels with a fait accompli, but they have not prohibited the Transit still. Should decide the West to fulfill his part of the agreement leaves open the door to Russia.
"Instead of helping the countries that are really in Need, has made used of the West, the grain agreement for political blackmail and to it yet, as I said, a means to enrich transnational corporations, speculators on the global grain market," Putin said. "I would like to emphasize that we are not against the agreement as such, and certainly the possibility of a return to this agreement in consideration, but only under one condition: if all previously agreed principles of Russia's participation in this agreement, are fully taken into account and implemented."
In General, the grain agreement is not blessed nor the Time, but in this Form it is definitely down in history as the Turkish head of state Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. He expressed his intention to discuss the possibility of its re-recording with the Russian President personally.
