Putin Aims to 'Starve' Poor Nations by Blocking Ukraine Grain: Stoyanova
by Fatma Khaled, 5/21/22, Newsweek
Ala Stoyanova, the deputy governor of the Ukrainian city of
Odessa, expressed concerns about food shortages caused by
Russia's blockage of the country's grain from reaching parts
of the world. "It is his aim, I think, to make these poor
countries starve from hunger without this grain. When he
blocks our ports, by this means he is blackmailing the world,"
the deputy governor told The Telegraph about Putin in an
interview published Friday.
Ukraine is one of the world's largest grain exporters. On a
normal day, around 3,000 container loads of grain would arrive
by train at Odessa and other Ukrainian ports where they are
kept in vast silos, according to The Telegraph. However, since
Russia invaded the country late February, most of this grain,
including 25 million tons that are at Odessa's port alone, has
been piled up and will eventually rot if not shipped out soon.
The war caused Black Sea ports in the southern part of the
country to close, threatening food supplies. Unless those
ports reopen, shipments and those transporting it are at risk
of being shelled by Russian troops or may run into sea mines
that are possibly around ports, The Telegraph reported.
If those ports are not opened soon, Ukrainian farmers will be
unable to store the next harvest in July and August anywhere.
Ships holding Ukraine's grain have been stranded with little
chance of moving due to the conflict making it difficult to
transfer piles of grain from Odessa to Romania and Poland,
according to The Telegraph.
However, Anton Gerashchenko, a Ukrainian Ministry of Internal
Affairs adviser, said Friday that the United States is "preparing
a plan to destroy the Black Sea Fleet" to end the blockade.
Food production efforts have already been destroyed by Russian
forces who have bombed silos and destroyed farm infrastructure,
according to The Telegraph. Still, Ukrainians continue to farm,
according to Stoyanova. "Russian aggression continues mostly
against big cities, but less so in the countryside where the
planting goes, so we expect to plant 90% of our fields as
normal," she said.
Stoyanova also expressed her fears that food shortages and
prevailing famine in some nations would fuel the world's
current refugee crisis. "You already have a refugee crisis in
Europe with people fleeing there from this war in Ukraine," she
said. "You may now get a refugee crisis from hunger in third
countries too."
The U.N. World Food Program (WFP) recently warned that many
would be "marching towards starvation" worldwide unless
Ukrainian ports reopen. Nearly 276 million people worldwide
have been experiencing acute hunger since the beginning of this
year. However, if the war continues, this number is expected to
increase by 47 million, specifically in sub-Saharan Africa.
Speakers at the U.N.' Security Council meeting warned Thursday
that Yemen, Nigeria, South Sudan, and Ethiopia are among the
countries at risk of heightened food insecurity due to the
lack of grain exports.
