   Many commenters have asked why we didn't mention that Turkey has apparently said it would unilaterally continue the grain deal, which would basically involve the Turkish Navy protecting Ukrainian exporters from the Russian Navy. We've seen these reports, but we chose not to mention them because they seem to originate from this report by the Azeri Times (https://twitter.com/AzeriTimes/status/1678080379033354244?s=20). We haven't seen any other major news outlets report on this, and it hasn't been confirmed by the Turkish government, so we didn't think it was worth mentioning until it's been verified in some way. If anyone has seen some more evidence that this is happening, please leave a comment down below.

   Ukraine nor Russia didn't withdraw their exports and imports to one another, since they are the staples that their countries need, it just that they have to account their inventories in order to offer a better price, and that their currencies are to be as stable, at PAR with the QUANTITY of GDP, as to Land Mass, Water and Workers and Employees, in the Specialization of Harvests and Planting, protection and preservation and Anticipation of FLOOD, EARTHQUAKE, SANDSTORM, that includes SOIL EROSION and TORNADO, since FARMING and PRESERVATION of ENVIRONMENT is IMPORTANT, clean air and Natural Resources for succeeding Generations.

   This is not journalism. Not sure why you think you're capable of reporting on the Russian-Ukraine grain deal when your coverage is clearly biased. Apparently, a paycheck is all you're concerned with.

   This is absurd. He completely fails to mention that according to Russia the safe passage of Ukrainian ships through the Black Sea has allowed them to be used to attack targets in Crimea. Also that most of Ukraine's grain goes to the EU, not to low income countries. He also fails to mention that five Eastern European countries are preventing Ukraine exporting cheap grain to them as it undermines their own farmers. Because of the use of Odessa and the Black Sea corridor to attack Crimea Russia has destroyed the dock infrastructure in Odessa which terminates the grain deal once and for all. I would add that the more fundamental reason for Third World food poverty is the Western institutions like the IMF and WTO ensuring that rich countries are protected from their food exports, and their insistence that Third World farmers are denied subsidies and help with internal marketing. Western institutions are designed to protect the rich countries from competition from poor countries.

   It could be a strategic move by Putin. No food for the African market means more immigrants to Europe where there is a growing resentment towards their governments for allowing so many people in . Africa has done nothing to aid Russia anyway so why should Putin feel responsible for them. Let the collective West take care of Africa.

   I think you have misrepresented the grain deal. It was so that Ukraine could ship it’s grain and Russia could also ship it’s grain and fertiliser however, as usual the west did not honour the agreement and sanctioned countries not to import Russian fertiliser and grain. A deal is usually two way as one normally would understand it. Secondly , 38% of Ukrainian grain goes to Europe,30% goes to Turkey, 20+ percent goes to China and 2% goes to the poor of Africa. So sir, what are you talking about? Putin has agreed to provide grain for Africa free of charge. Please stop misrepresenting the truth.

    The truth that you are not willing to tell:
    
    Grain deal that was signed 1 year ago obliged Russia to secure green corridor in Black Sea and Russia honored its part for a year and renewed the deal 3 times. On the contrary, Ukrainian, UN, West side did not honored a single part from their side:
    
    According to the deal, they had to
    
    – Let Russian Agricultural bank to be connected to Swift
    
    -Let Russian Agricultural products and fertilizer be allowed to sell through the Swift system
    
    -Let Russians vessels to be insured and to be accepted by different ports
    
    – Not to use "grain corridor" for smuggling weapons and doing terrorist activities against Russians

    1 year, 3 renewal of the deal and nothing was done to honor what was signed and promised by the West.

    At the same time Ukrainians bombed Crimea bridge TWICE and sent multiple UAV on Crimea from this "green corridor"

    Also, you forgot to mention that 97% of Ukrainian grain that was supposed to go to poor countries ended up in Europe and Turkey.

    By the way, Putin promised to provide grain and fertilizers for poor countries for FREE

    Also, Putin said, if the West honor their part of the deal during the next 3 months, he will return to the grain deal, but it seems, the West prefer to start a war in Black Sea then to honor their part of the deal

    It is the same betrayal of the West as was in Minsk1, Minsk2, Peace agreement in March 2022 that was already signed but then thrown in the garbage by Zelenski.

    THE WEST CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Also Russia is main exported of the grain – around 25%, Ukraine – just 5%. So, the West denied Russia to export its grain and scream everywhere that Russia is causing hunger around the world! What a bunch of xxxxxxxx

    It's not just about allowing Ukrainian grain, but also Russian grain. Russia produces 20% of the world's grain exports. Ukraine produces less than 5% so Russia's is the more important one. They've been blocked from the payment system Swift so can't export to Africa.
    The Ukrainian grain, over 60% went to high and middle income countries, 3% went to the poorest.
    No one mentions Monsanto, DuPont and other large corporations have bought and own millions of hectares of Ukrainian farmland and it's them who are making the money on this grain.

    The deal was supposed to guarantee Russian agricultural exports, but they were still sanctioned. In other words, the West did not hold up its end of the bargain.

    Russia isnt withdrawing from the grain deal but rather fed up by its western and ukrainian counterparts not holding up their obligations of this deal.
    So after Russia extended in good faith two times this deal it just let it run out without extending it further – and made sure it doesnt get f`ed down the
    line by destroying all involved ports infrastructure.
    Obviously for Ukraine it is more important to hit russian targets in Crimea than saving one of its few income streams (~ 6BN p.Y.). I guess western tax-
    payers are eagerly compensating for this loss.

    He Who Starts a War – Loses

    Speaking about the Russia-Ukraine war, NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg recently told a German weekly newspaper, “We must prepare for the fact that it could take years.” As I have said several times, this war is not like any war before; it is a scrutiny on a new level, a precursor of more scrutinies to come. This scrutiny may have started with Russia and Ukraine, but it will not end there; it will encompass all of Europe, and eventually all of humanity. These scrutinies will drive human society to rebuild itself in a way that helps us achieve life’s essence and purpose.

    The current bafflement and indecision that has overcome us is not negative. It is a mandatory state that precedes any progress. There have always been struggles over who will rule—which party or which leader or which ideology. The reflections imposed on us today impel us to determine how we want to relate to our society, to our country, and to humanity, and what will advance us to achieve the state of completion and perfection.

    Although at the moment, the struggles are between individuals who are leaders of their countries, people already see that this is not the correct way for humanity to be, at least not in terms of the leaders’ motivations. When leaders’ decisions are driven by considerations of the benefit of the public rather than their own benefit, their decisions will be correct, they will succeed, and they will win everyone’s support. This, by the way, does not pertain to one specific leader but is true of all leaders, as this will be the basic tenet of leadership in the future.

    The mutual dependence that seems to burden us today, causing shipment delays, food and energy shortages, and spreading viruses around the world, is really the flip-side of our mutual responsibility. When we learn the message of interconnectedness that it teaches us, we will find that our connections do not hurt, but allow us to live more comfortably and easily, and that our mutual dependence is an invitation to connect our hearts and not only our economies.

    The reason that we currently feel as though the world is in crisis is that we are unwilling to accept our interdependence. In the struggle between forced interdependence and reluctance to play by its rule, we are causing everything to shut down. However, if we embrace connection rather than reject it, we will discover its countless benefits compared to having to rely only on ourselves.

    We are living through a very special time in history. A pivotal shift is happening, a spiritual transformation. Gradually, we are learning to perceive ourselves not only as individuals, but also as parts of a system that maintain a symbiotic relationship with it: We nourish the system, and the system nourishes us.

    Until today, we perceived ourselves as separate beings. This put us in constant struggles against every one and every thing. The survival of the fittest epitomized our attitude towards life.

    In the new perception awakening within us, our attitude will change to what anthropologist Brian Hare and research scientist Vanessa Woods refer to as “the survival of the friendliest.” In this approach, those who feel connected to others and act with everyone’s benefit in mind will prosper, and those who cling to the attitude of “each man for himself” will find themselves defeated by life.

    Soon, and I hope it will come without too much pain, humanity will come to complete despair. We will feel that we are suffering blows every step of the way, and at every point in our development. When we come to this, people will agree to connect as a last resort. At that point, I really hope that humanity will begin to contemplate how to rise above the ego because otherwise, it will inflict unbearable suffering on all of us.

    In the era that is now dawning, we will not be able to impose decisions on others. We will not be able to oppress or force each other into any resolutions that they will not want to make of their own volition. Person against person, country against country, regime against regime, no one will be able to impose one’s views on the other. In the new era, he who starts a war—loses.‎ Rather, everything will be done with connection and reciprocity

    3 Things about this one-sided deal
    1. The global south still support Russia and see the US/EU as hypocrites
    2. Ukraine used the grain ships as cover for underwater drone attacks on Russia
    3. Sanctions on ship insurance prevent Russia from exporting food despite promises in deal
    It looks like the US will sacrifice Global food security for an attempt to hurt Putin's popularity in Africa. The deal gave Ukraine everything and Russia nothing.

    All the theoretical talk about how Turkey can help is nothing more than imagination. What we see and hear is what is in the open. Behind the scenes, it is anybody's guess what is communicated between Russia and Turkey.

    At 7:43 of the video, it is said that Putin may be just accepting the he's just lost the international popularity contest or that he has become more desperate to beat Ukraine by any means possible.

    That's just verbiage from TLDR. Ask yourselves, what does Putin wants? Popularity? Beat up Ukraine? No, Putin just wants Ukraine to come to the negotiating table.

    If only Putin wants popularity and gives a damn about what the world think about him, he would not have started all this. If he really wants to beat Ukraine, he would have flattened much of Ukraine by now.

    Simple logic. Enhanced degradation to counter sanctions with effected countersanctions and attrition. They may next use incendiaries against farms before harvest and destroy grain storages. Pushed beyond point of no return. Devil may care sets in. Probably if tactical weapons are to be used, Poland , Finland and UK may face simultaneity in attention. Probably Russia has nothing to lose anymore.

    Perhaps the west should build up an air fleet to carry the grain out like they did with (the Berlin airlift during the cold war). They can fly the grain to staging countries like turkey greece italy israel ect and the distribute it across world bearing humanitarian red crosses. I dont think russia would try or risk to shoot down a nato aircraft that also bears red cross/ humanitarian mission because then article 5 would be inacted. It will be expensive but its the only realistic option considering the Bosporus straight and Dardanelles

    Why are you lying to your viewers ? Do you think they're stupid and brainwashed? Russia pulled out because (1) the EU failed to comply with its obligations such as re-connecting Russia's Agricultural Bank to the SWIFT system (2) Ukraine is smuggling weapons through the corridor (3) promised grain shipments weren't going to Africa as due to the EU countries taking the bulk of them and (4) Ukrainian forces bombed the Crimean bridge in October 2022 using the safe sea corridor. Despite the treacherous actions of the EU and Ukraine, Putin maintained the deal for 12 months until enough was enough!

    Why not just go to war with Russia to bring back the food?

    "Because Russia has the best army…"

    LMFAO! They are getting bodied by Ukrainians, bull f'ing s-word.

    "Because Russia has nukes."

    They ain't going to use those nukes. Those nukes probably don't even work. Putin threatening to use Nukes probably implies he doesn't have any. They probably sold their nukes to China to maintain their falling economy. That is probably the real reason why their economy wasn't falling as intended, because Russia was selling something they could make a decent buck from. And as we can see from China, their economy is getting worse, implying they bought something they cannot even use, but knowing China's CCP cares more about maintaining power than it does about the country or its people, they don't care. Russia may still have a good number of warheads, but there is no nuclear material inside.

    This is what happens when you don't choose Tumahab and his avatar to be your leader for the entire world. When you stay true to your petty ways and remain pitiful due to being consumed by your differences and allowing unqualified shills govern you as though they were righteous when you know they are not.

    NATO ships should escort the grain ships (if Turkey won't do it on their own) in a FU to Russia.
    It'd be the quickest way to end the war if Russia was stupid enough to attack one.
    NATO should provide peacekeeping troops to guard Odessa too for the same reason.
    The Russians will threaten but there's nothing they could actually do about it.

Yes Russia’s part of the deal was held up they allowed ships to past through Most of the Ukrainian grain didn’t even go to poor countries which was apart of the agreement.

    40 percent of the grain went to the EU

    20 percent to China

    10 percent to North Africa
