At his Bishkek press conference yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin responded to a question by RT about EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell’s proclamation that Africans support Russia because, in Borrell’s words “You can consider that these people do not know where Donbass is or maybe they do not even know who Putin is.” The Russian President replied that the African continent knows all too well who helped their liberation from European colonialism.
Referring to the West’s obstruction of the Russian side of the Black Sea grain deal, which is otherwise blacked out of the Western media, Putin replied: “If the people you were talking about knew where Africa is located and what state African nations are in, they would not have prevented the supplies of Russian food and Russian fertilizers from reaching the African continent. Eventually, the harvest in African countries and the saving of hundreds of thousands of people in Africa from starvation depend on these supplies.
