Lend-lease your …, people, resources and future, seen in practice: As they stole the Ukrainian gold reserves first thing after the Maidan bloody coup in 2014 (as they stole Iraq’s and Lybia’s gold reserves) they are now stealing bread from the mouth of the Ukrainians at the time the world is bracing for catastrophic food crisis and every nation tries to import as much food and prevent export in order to be able to feed its people.

EU Foreign Affairs High Commissioner Josep Borrell said that the bloc is exploring ways to “support ” Ukraine’s economy via trade and transportation liberalization and that the EU will establish a series of “green corridors” for Ukrainian grain exports across Europe.

“Ukraine’s stockpiles are full,” said Borrell. “They need this storage free for the next harvest; we’re working to help (Ukraine) to transport this grain by train, via ‘solidarity corridors.”

UNITED NATIONS, May 19. /TASS/. Ukraine expects this year’s harvest in the country to total half of that in 2021, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Nikolay Solsky said at the Food Security Ministerial organized by the United States on Wednesday.

“This year we expect a harvest 50% of the last year yields,” he said.

The minister also warned that “the next soil campaign of winter crops is under serious threat” due to the situation around Ukraine. “Actually, the fate of three harvests will be at stake this summer,” he noted.

The global community will be facing an increase in the wheat price to $700 per tonne, Solsky believes. The price of wheat on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange currently stands at around $430 per tonne. “Are we prepared to pay $500, 600 or $700 per tonne of wheat? This situation is critical for the countries in Asia and Africa, which imported grain mainly from Ukraine,” the Ukrainian minister emphasized.
