President Retard is making things worse 🤪
Mission accomplished
...but at least biden saved us from trump, who almost got us into ww iii...
Demented Joe’s war and Demented Joe’s fault.
“The U.S. has warned the Kremlin is trying to profit by selling stolen wheat from Ukraine to drought-stricken countries in Africa. The New York Times reports in mid-May, the U.S. sent an alert to 14 countries, mostly in Africa, that Russian cargo vessels were leaving ports near Ukraine laden with what a State Department cable described as “stolen Ukrainian grain.”
Those countries don’t care who is selling the grain. They are only glad it’s there and for sale.
The only interest the world has in this grain is that it ships and is sold.
It's another hint that we need to stop sending weapons to Ukraine and that Ukraine needs to unconditionally surrender. Continuing the war any further will simply result in more dead Ukrainians, more loss of territory and worsen the food crisis worldwide.

Russian occupiers admit taking wheat from Ukrainian region of Kherson to Russian Federation
DANA HORDIYCHUK, Ekonomichna Pravda - MONDAY, 30 MAY 2022, 13:05
The Russian occupational government of Kherson Oblast announced that the process of exporting wheat from the region to the Russian Federation has begun.
This is reported by Russian propaganda media outlet RBK referencing the collaborator Kiril Stremousov, appointed by Russian occupiers as the deputy head of Kherson Oblast.
This information refers to the past crop of wheat that has been in storage in Kherson Oblast.
Stremousov speaks about the start of harvesting winter grains from 20 June, which will also be exported to Russia. “We have a place for storing [the new crop], however, of course, a lot of grain is here” – he said. Russian occupiers claim that the grain is allegedly being sold to Russia. As the Ekonomichna Pravda reported earlier, Russian occupiers are blackmailing Ukrainian farmers, buying their produce for peanuts and robbing grain reserves.
In addition, according to Stremousov, Russian occupiers plan to export sunflower seeds for oil production to local and Russian plants.
Background:
The Ministry of Agrarian Policy reports that Russian occupiers have stolen about 500,000 tons of wheat - one third of the amount stored in the occupied territories.
For a long time now, reports of theft of Ukrainian grain have been coming from all temporarily occupied regions. For example, in Luhansk Oblast, the Russians confiscated or destroyed wheat that amounted to three years of grain needs of the region’s residents. This is the only oblast where planting has not started.
In the Zaporizhzhia Oblast, grain is disappearing from ports, and the occupiers blackmail farmers and demand them to give up 70% of their harvest to the occupiers.
It is known that in Kherson Oblast Russian occupiers robbed a grain silo and exported 20,000 tons of grain to Russia, and in mid-April they appropriated the land and property of the enterprises “Agro-Spivdruzhnist” and “Spivdruzhnist-South.”

As I see each of these stories, along with what’s happening here, I fear there are representatives from several nations (including close American allies) having meetings with others in far off places...
... quietly coming to the realization and understanding that one entity has become the greatest nemesis on earth, and how to remove such an albatross from around their necks.
I’m sure the reader understands. I’ll leave it at that.
RUSSIA took out the grain teriminal AFTER Putin said grain shipments would be allowed. Putin has repeatedly shown he can not be trusted. Why pretend to trust him?

Guerrilla Attacks Signal Rising Resistance to Russian Occupation By Marc Santora
Mon, June 6, 2022
The Kremlin-backed mayor of the Ukrainian town of Enerhodar was standing on his mother’s porch when a powerful blast struck, leaving him critically wounded. A week later, about 75 miles away, a car packed with explosives rocked the office of another Russian-appointed official in the occupied southern city of Melitopol.
In a rarity, both Ukrainian and Russian officials confirmed the blasts, which struck deep inside Russian-controlled territory. And both explosions appeared to be the work of what analysts say is a growing partisan resistance movement — one fueled by increasingly brutal Russian repression and worsening humanitarian conditions.
By their very nature, the clandestine activities of any insurgency are murky and often impossible to verify independently. It is as much in the interest of Ukrainians to play up talk of rebellion as it is for Russians to play it down.
But the explosion that injured the Enerhodar mayor, Andrei Shevchik, is one of more than a dozen high-profile attacks in recent weeks that analysts say indicate increased partisan activity aimed at Russian occupation forces in the Kherson and Zaporizka regions of southern Ukraine.
Stretching tens of thousands of square miles from eastern Ukraine to Russian-occupied Crimea and into Russia itself, those regions were among the first to fall under Russian control following the invasion of Ukraine in late February. Many of their towns and cities were spared the wholesale destruction unleashed by Russian forces elsewhere. In recent days, Ukrainian forces have launched a series of counterattacks in the regions.
In the past month, Ukrainian partisans claim, insurgents have attacked Russian trains and killed dozens of Russian soldiers, as well as supporting the Ukrainian military’s counterattacks. Their claims are impossible to independently verify. The partisans also have established a virtual Center of National Resistance, which features instructions for things like setting up ambushes and what to do if arrested.
Alexander Motyl, a historian and Ukraine expert at Rutgers University, has scoured publicly available statements about possible insurgent activity. He said that the data suggests it is growing.
“It is, of course, possible that Ukrainian special forces may have been involved in some of these actions; it is also likely that the data are incomplete,” he wrote for the online journal 1945. “Even so, the number of guerrilla actions is impressive and bespeaks a trend toward ever-greater partisan activity.”
The explosion in Enerhodar and the intrigue that has followed illustrate how Russian efforts to combat insurgency might be deepening the resolve of the partisans.
Enerhodar had a population of 50,000 before the war and was home to many of the people who work at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant, Europe’s largest. Residents erected wooden barricades on the road leading into the town in the first week of the war but they proved no match for Russian tanks. Russia took control of the town and named Shevchik mayor.
Then came the blast, which Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency reported May 22, citing an emergency services source in the city. Ukrainian officials confirmed the incident from their own sources and said that it appeared that the mayor was targeted.
Dmytro Orlov, whom Ukraine recognizes as the legitimate mayor of Enerhodar, wrote on Telegram that Russians are trying to tackle the budding insurgency by targeting regular civilians. He said that “the number of abductions of locals has increased significantly” since the explosion involving Shevchik, and that the humanitarian crisis has worsened.
There is almost no Ukrainian currency left in Enerhodar, Orlov said, adding that since the occupied forces are TRYING to make Russia’s ruble the only currency, prices for everyday household products have climbed “sky-high.” Reports of Russian soldiers LOOTING mostly abandoned homes are on the rise, while COMMUNICATIONS in and out of the CITY have been severed, he said.
All this, Orlov said, will cause the ranks of the partisans to grow.
“Even those citizens who had a NEUTRAL ATTITUDE to the invaders in the beginning are starting to show DISSATISFACTION with the RUSSIAN OCCUPATION ,” he said.
It appears Orlov is not alone in thinking that partisans will continue to pose a threat to Russia’s proxies.
Shevchik’s Russia-appointed replacement, Ruslan Kirpichov, erected concrete blast walls outside the hotel where he is living, according to Energoatom, the Ukrainian state enterprise responsible for operating the town’s power stations. It posted a photo of the barricades on its Telegram channel.
Russia destroys civilian infrastructure and trade along with civilian lives while lying about destroying military hardware.

History to repeat itself. If the russkians cannot beat them on the battlefield, they will starve the Ukrainian populace.
