  1. AFRICANS DON'T NEEED UKRAINIAN GRAINS. STOP LYING. MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES HAVE FOOD APART FROM THOSE WHICH HAVE WARS CAUSED BY THE EVIL WEST. AFRICA AND RUSSIA ARE ONE. AFRICA WILL GET GRAIN AND FERTILISERS FROM RUSSIA NOT UKRAINE. EUROPE MUST LEAVE AFRICA

  3. Despite the failed sanctions,Russia is selling its grain direct to those who need it most in Africa etc through other routes. Unlike the Ukraine/western grain which is mostly going to Western Europe for animal feed.

  4. Because Putin is an idiot and wants someone to respond so that he can blame another country for attacking Russia and so start WW111 . . . He is very, very sly, he’s a liar and for some reason he is trying to copy everything that a certain Mr Hitler did a while back!! He has learned nothing from history and will go the same way I. The long term!!

  5. Hold on, wasn’t it Western Allies that violated the grain deal, by not allowing Russia to sell its grains and fertilisers? Btw Russia has far more grain and fertilisers than Ukraine. And vast majority of Ukrainian grain ends up in Europe, rather than poor countries. Finally, didn’t Russia offer free grain to desperate African countries? Have Western countries offered any free grain to poor countries?
