Then maybe the USAF Global Hawk that was orbiting over the Black Sea should not be coordinating air and sea drone attacks on the port used to ship the grain. Duh.
Almost seems like US policy is to totally isolate Russia, as in blowing up the NS pipeline.
Even if it means Germans freeze, or 3rd-worlders starve.
It’s all about narrative and further attempts to isolate Putin/Russia.
Putin’s war on energy.
Now, Putin’s war on food.
⚡️Smuggling of ammunition via the “grain deal” ships
ships loaded with grain left Ukrainian ports, unloaded at the destination port and went back to Ukraine supposedly empty. Allegedly...
In fact, the vessels involved in the grain deal, after passing the Bosphorus on the way back, were loaded with ammunition at 10-20% of the maximum deadweight directly at sea from Bulgarian and / or Romanian vessels.
Why by 10-20%? Yes, so that the appearance (precipitation) does not betray their loading. And safely returned to the Ukrainian port, where ammunition was unloaded at night!
In order to reliably simulate the zero load of the ship, dear Western partners and their Ukrainian colleagues even repainted the cargo stamps on the sides of the ships that participated in the” deal”, raising them higher on board!
Also, the vessels were bunkered with water and fuel at a minimum, just to reach the Odessa ports. Everything to save displacement for the sake of projectiles.
How much ammo could be transferred with such restrictions?
Enough for the AFU!
‼️A small bulk carrier with a deadweight of 20 thousand tons brought back 2000 tons of ammunition, and this is about 30 railway cars with ammunition or 3 railway trains!
