Russian wheat. russia against Ukraine. Ukrainian agricultural products

This statement by russian Minister of Agriculture oksana lut is being spread by russian propagandists. In fact, what the representatives of the terrorist country call ‘russian wheat’ is mostly Ukrainian agricultural products that russians have stolen and continue to steal from the temporarily occupied territories.

In 2023, the United States published (https://files.constantcontact.com/fab49a91901/1e86de0d-671c-4652-9c56-dec0554e13a2.pdf) a report on the impact of russia's invasion of Ukraine on food security, which states that in 2022 and 2023 alone, Russia stole almost 12 million tonnes of grain from the TOT of Ukraine.
In addition, according to the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, as of September 2024, losses due to the theft of Ukrainian grain by russians amounted to more than UAH 30 billion. And this amount is not final.Also, since the beginning of the full-scale war, Ukraine has lost 20.5% of its agricultural land, which has led to a significant reduction in gross agricultural production. The country is now potentially mined with about 2 million hectares of agricultural land that needs to be surveyed and cleared of war mud. A huge blow to the irrigation system in the southern regions of Ukraine was caused by the russian bombing of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station in 2023, which damaged the Kakhovka main irrigation system. It was responsible for 78% of the country's irrigated areas.
Thus, russia not only stole Ukrainian land and agricultural products, but also caused direct damage to other Ukrainian territories, which led to a drop in grain exports from Ukraine. Until 2022, Ukraine was one of the world's top 10 grain exporters. It is russia's aggression against Ukraine that has caused deep disruptions in global food supplies, raised prices and increased the risk of food insecurity in poor countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
