United Nations BEGGING Russia to export fertilizer so Western nations don’t suffer a worsening food collapse

In a bid to prevent a global food crisis, the United Nations has resorted to begging Russia for mercy concerning its export of fertilizer to Western countries that need it for crops.

Right now, a pipeline that once transported ammonia from Russia to Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Yuzhny (renamed “Pivdennyi”) is offline due to Western sanctions against Russia. Consequently, much-needed fertilizer has stopped flowing.

Before the war, Russia accounted for about 20 percent of all global exports of ammonia, a key ingredient in fertilizer production. The ammonia pipeline in question has been closed since the February invasion began. (Related: The UN was warning back towards the start of covid that a “famine of biblical proportions” was soon to come.)

The pipeline is capable of transferring 2.3 million tons of ammonia per year, which would be really nice right about now amid skyrocketing fertilizer prices.

Brought to you by Mike Adams, a Natural News story, of a Russin RT story, of a Reuters story, Explainer: How UN plan for Russian ammonia export could help global fertiliser market, available here.

Piping ammonia from Russia to Mykolaiv, Ukraine, to sell abroad would mean both sides would have to stop fighting around Mykolaiv. Except Mykolaiv is near Kherson. Ukraine would have to give up trying to take Kherson. When it was Russia who shut off the pipeline the day the invasion started in the first place. this is after Russia attacked the Odesa ports with cruise missiles right after signing a deal to allow grain to leave them for export. Which lead to the Turkish navy escorting the shipments after mine clearing operations.

Which means not matter what Russia promises, Ukraine will ignore this for the distraction it is. Which makes this another UN diplomatic bong hit pipe dream proposal that will never happen.

To: Tell It Right

“ They’re using Russia as a scapegoat. Many UN nations were already into banning fertilizer anyway. Now the UN can blame Russia for it.”

BINGO! The Netherlands is Exhibit #1.

See Italys farmer protest. 3days ago
Italian farmers also rise up. Hundreds of tractors block Caserta en masse to protest against the forced slaughter of 140,000 head of cattle and the increase in energy prices.”
