Blinken calls on Russia to stop using food as ‘weapon’ in Ukraine war

Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday called for Russia to stop using food as a “weapon” in the war in Ukraine after Moscow suspended a deal to allow for the export of grain from the embattled country.

Blinken told Good Morning America that the grain deal reached last year between Kyiv and Moscow allowed for the equivalent of 18 billion loaves of bread to get out to the world, but Russia “tore up that deal,” which many nations see as imperiling their food supply.

Nuland’s sock puppet neglects a few things. The deal also included reconnecting the Russian agricultural bank to SWIFT, not impeding Russian fertilizer exports and not using those grain deal shipping lanes for weapons trade.

None of that was lived up to, the lanes have been used for attacks on pipelines, Sevastopol and the Kerch bridge.

And they were warned in advance.

Complete crap.

The usual US lies.

Russian state-owned United Grain Company (OZK) said on Monday that it had shipped more than 100,000 tonnes of grain to African countries since the start of the 2023-2024 agricultural year, which began on July 1.

did he talk or was it a “strongly worded message”?

Bunch of clowns. They have no idea what “war” even means. It’s all theoretical and “smart” logic with “leaders” that have never been in a trench or seen what a real war is.

God, these f’ing clowns deserve everything that is going to happen to them. We are just props for their little game.

Food as a weapon. As opposed to cluster bombs.

The man (he’s a man, right?) is a lying hypocrite.

All they had to do was honor the original agreement.

"Okay, that’s funny!"

Funny? To you? I figured you would have asked the mods to remove it. There's still time.

Shows how desperately helpless the collective West is. Our Sec of State begging. Sue for peace Blinken and stop the killing; you got your butts kicked!

Ok. Let’s make a deal. Russia stops using food as a weapon if NATO stops arming Ukraine.

Dude, you made a joke and then jumped on her for saying it was funny? Lighten up, especially when someone here who opposes your position forgets the barricades for just a moment and laughs at your joke.

Geeeze

They should rename the State Dept to the Department of Coups and Wars. The real head of State appears to be George Soros.
