The International Monetary Fund – whose track record for causing mass genocide in developing sector nations is competitive with that of Hitler – has suddenly become concerned over global food insecurity and rising food prices, which they of course ascribe to Russia’s termination of the Black Sea grain deal, because of lack of compliance by the West with its agreed-upon terms.
“The discontinuation of the [Black Sea] initiative impacts the food supply to countries that rely heavily on shipments from Ukraine, in particular in North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia,” an IMF spokesperson said, as cited by Reuters. “It worsens the food security outlook and risks adding to global food inflation, especially for low-income countries.”
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin specified on July 21 the steps that must be taken to reinstate that arrangement. Russia’s agricultural lender, Rosselkhozbank, has to be reconnected to the SWIFT interbank messaging system; deliveries of spare parts for agricultural machinery have to be enabled; , a key ammonia pipeline has to be reopened; and restrictions on insurance and logistics must be lifted. None of these demands have been met so far, Vershinin explained.
