back to february 24th 2022. it's fine. if i hit the 1st russian bones were dropped and ukrainian cities the few hours, nicer columns of tanks and to train charging me a push and closer to the middle of treat special operation. but in reality, this was a total invasion of ukraine. the biggest military operation to unfold on the european continent since the end of world war 2. the,
2:19 pm
the objective, the village of the kremlin, was to take the capital t's in order to set up a regime most serving. if he's interested. the at the time was still on to the tuition, was also pursuing a campaign that would lead to the systematic destruction, the few crane in agriculture all over the country. funds were attacked the uh, the, the bomb dark production facilities, soto power stations. and they've been our workshops going to take them to our office to consult on awesome on even the thank you very precisely that we didn't have any military equipment here. and there were no ukrainian troops here in atlanta possible and serious. presumably they found it exciting to watch,
2:20 pm
everything flew into the air and collapsed and you're still thoughts on it because wonder. so they wanted to demonstrate the strength of their country to show their army was strong and make us fear them from the point in the show who no, no the do they wanted to rank or harvest or food in regards to a viable impossible. so there's 2 reasons why nibble that's the way i see it any way. the way that the of the, the control of the coast was not the frame of the criminal and the stars at the innovation that way exports of ukrainian grain via the us off and the black seas could be prevented by or available me.
2:21 pm
the russian naval vessels blockaded ukrainian black c ports for months while to mind its territorial waters toward off and the landings. the lots of lots of the show will find me kind of what you what are you not samuel? you have to know that in recent years, late ukraine had started systematically exporting agricultural products, including green, to international market. since we were consistently among the top 5, ex borders of corn, you know, wheat and barley piano explore faddie. what was that? some is to just make more than 90 percent of the exports were shipped via the black sea. they've been most of it sort q x portable if law and showing them one, especially, and you've told them there was a few ships were damaged during the 1st days of the invasion. they were in the ports of odessa and nicolai's ships carrying agricultural products as well for
2:22 pm
a typical day september 11th. which is nice and that's where i got off my producer . mixed the words to, during the 1st days of the war, russia declared the northwestern black sea, a zone for so called anti terror operations on their nation. as i can, long as i can over here on the truck. as on the scene was undoubtedly to the navigation on the black sea, my visible nibbler to make it so there's a route for transporting goods, was no longer usable. hope to talk with you on the same exposure and having a neighbor to of during this period. no ukrainian commercial shipping was able to lead the shoals of the black sea. russia's blockade of the ports was threatening global food security . you clean, accounted for around 10 percent of global wage. exports making is a leading. we're exporting country. within a few days,
2:23 pm
the price of we'd sold from around $300.00 to $400.00 euro's a ton. at the start of may 2022. it was even selling as a risk or price of $438.00 euros to tom the . with these attack on ukraine flooded me, a pollution destabilized the global grain trade, putting tens of millions of people in dangerous dis by simon. we'd never would have dreamed anything like this would be possible. it is not just decimating dynamically ukraine in the region, but it will have global context impact beyond anything we've seen that the world war 2, the impact of the war is global and systemic is certainly 6 gun to the discount on russia and ukraine for more than houses that we seen parts, including some of the porters and most vulnerable countries of the world,
2:24 pm
the egypt, but its population of a $110000000.00 people is among the most fragile holding a 3rd of its inhabitants livid standards below the poverty, not president of those thought to us c. c has ruled egypt for 10 years. he knows the skyrocketing prices could have dramatic consequences. his country consumes more than $20000000.00 tons of which annually. half of that comes through approach, mainly from russia and ukraine. bread is the most important, don, actually strength of egypt. the country is the world's 2nd largest importer of weight. i want somebody to know why they made a little man and none of renewal document could be to keep them. most of the knowledge in egypt right is called a huge thing,
2:25 pm
which literally means life. i know most people are very dependent on it all without bread. there is no life, isn't it? and that's why we call it a huge headlight. again, if you want, but legacy at every meal is served with bread and egypt and i've been, is back in the week is the main staple food for the population of a month. that a 100 and have enough a ran into hey, are produced from we 2 in deep wood that are the most important animal feeds in boy . so we feed humans and animals the like i, on the top on a lot of is that in san, with the access to affordable bread is part of the social contracts between the government and the people of egypt over the, by the fifty's, the government to decided to regulate and monitor its production and sale. since then this being a jewel system, the says bridge. it's available for free. the fluctuation price, which reacts to market forces and bridge at a fixed price,
2:26 pm
which is set by the government and subsidized. the 5th from fed is yeah, if you down level, this could be the government covers the price difference on the fed. bread is more than 50 percent subsidize over. that's how the state helps the poorest of the poor . around 70000000. egyptians by the subsidized bread, that means that close to 70 percent of the population lives from the spread them and dollar lifecycle down. yeah, awesome. uh so awesome. i have someone else. um i have one who i no longer have who has the regime is afraid the social consequences of hunger and poverty could be to uncontrollable uprisings like that just have to come there. yeah, i mean, perhaps they would even be a civil war with great destruction. my getting that in or you connect the wow, every egyptian is aware of this today, monica being did the what have thought that had the last, the unrest tier would have serious consequences for everyone when the flow i'm at the high but then the could break the state apart,
2:27 pm
yes. to an alarm because we haven't done well can pull the f u as in umbrella, come as of course president, toll c. c hasn't forgotten the resolution. we slows and move. the arab spring has 2011 people in cairo top to the street. some cold for bread, freedom injustice dislike to the last of his previous as a host name or bark. so he'd been in power fits soon as he is subsidized bread and shoes. the stupidity is all ceases regime and he must import weight no matter how high prices rise to replace the lacking weight from ukraine. i'll ceasing increase the amounts he ordered from flatter me of food in the spring of 2022 of the, the russian leda has made his country into one of the world's leading grain exposes
2:28 pm
since 2016, russia has been the largest exposure of weight worldwide. how did the revitalization of russian agriculture take place the when flooded, they have to didn't change of power. at the end of the 1999, the situation in russian agricultural was disastrous. and with the supply the food, the whole, through the 19 ninety's, the country was heavily dependent on agricultural impulse above home from the u. s . by the middle of the decade, russia was the largest consumer of us, poultry. plugging it pollution decided to act hey, we'll do a shopping creation, but we decided to put an end to the humanitarian invasion of our country with goods
2:29 pm
from abroad. i think we were able to put a hold to this development in 2090. and this is good, you know, probably the most part. and yet, the necessity to revive rural areas that says, that's how the describe the cultural sector into increased productivity. and modernize technology was quite clear. there are both, i have some sort of question. the starting in 2005 vladimir fusion declared agriculture a national priority, and started the 1st government to investment programs the but a completely different crisis gave this policy and twist at the beginning of 2014, most korea up to the mind. john squared protests in keys by occupying the crime in financial and russia begin supposing,
2:30 pm
separatist movements in parts of the don't pass region in order to isolate from the rest of ukraine. the these 2 events actually mock the wheel stops of rushes, invasion of ukraine. the west reacted with sanctions on most good. so it took me a to some. and so it was an immediate embargo, one or wisdom, the food for the putting on that bill. we all got a good, don't look at the, on the market the way to you know, who to and told us people. so i told you that yes, we'll have shortages of meet fruit and vegetables and dairy products for a time. and also i forget about french cheese and complete don't support fully equipped the entire agricultural system to grow green movies. here, the russian state mobilize and even greater meetings with the exports of green oil and gas sources. so starting from around 2020 rush, it became almost
2:31 pm
a fully self sufficient in terms of agricultural products and food. as you move to pull, you're going to go to the motel. the really parts for i see is converted industries saving 6 that are considered really tech. those are the sanctions imposed on russia by western countries when russia to look around for new alternative markets on weeds plays a central role in the markets of egypt. and algeria are not saying it's kind of a might to ensure it missed in 2022. we x, quoted huge quantities, their hips and they've always reader with the person that they're expressed to more than 1000000 tons. the system best serve young busher and you don't on the bush. me don't, don't you know, julia, we enter the market that had been firmly in french hands before. the last name was now we're competing directly with france there. oh,
2:32 pm
it's assessment. i'm bridge. i'm just leaving a computer. nope. to push the appraisals group and rush. i became stronger as an agricultural power when your bill, me to the more the means allowed in the greater of the striving for all tarkey and rest of vacation of strategic areas that domains type, digit salt, the cook. i so i feel so yeah, according to the slogan, buckle. so we'll build our own green silos ourselves up. and rather than ordering them from foreign manufacturers who don't i called spectrum and to see to do an equal cellphone, it goes up to man the best. and maybe we won't even use the global financial system to organize in finance versus easiest to come math. so if you know, so we'll just found our own agrarian banks and holding specific exit gone, all that meant don't like the or the non tusa the . this was the last step towards recitation. within 20
2:33 pm
years, vladimir putin had made the russian farming and food sector into one of the world's most productive, just like his oil gas and armaments industry that gave him a new instrument of power and the invasion of ukraine. a country also known as the bread foster to the world, gave him an opportunity to try his house. the russian armies withdrew from the northern parts of the country without successfully taking kids. it was a piece of deceit for vladimir tutoring, the the so he gave his troops a new objective concrete and the lucrative pos, if you train the agricultural regions in the east and south of the country. that's
2:34 pm
where the st. blanco's fortune knows is location. soil that some of the world's most famous heil the lion's share of you, trans wilson grain is founded on this soil. for may 20th 2022 patients troops took control of the strategically important course of money will pull the battles to the city is horrifying. 90 percent of the city was destroyed the more than $20000.00 people. okay. c the
2:35 pm
blood, to me, a cushion had achieved his goal and amex, ation of the sea of salt. and with this russian dominance in the region, fee is we're growing. the russian troops would push for the west and take odessa until the war, around half of old ukraine's exports was shipped out. 5, the country's biggest black c port, the the, we'll see you at the show and how to show me that russia is waging total more be, i mean, it's not a war. and the conventional stands with strictly military means that it was getting when it gets a war, applying political, social, and economic weapons disappear of anguish. so was economic, it's clear,
2:36 pm
a country would be weekend without a working economy show of the consent them. and that's what the russians are aiming for, striking against the most important sectors trying to for, to elizabeth and let's talk some because if we can't work on agriculture is i don't understand, we won't be able to finance the ukrainian armed forces sufficiently to get them because building a single thing, but if we can sell something as a country and have income for the, then we can support the military with the wind partners most go systematically taking grain from russian occupied areas and transporting as l squared. way for the dollar since a bad decision to talk to somebody before the war. we worked 75000 hector's of land and during the war we lost 25000 hector's and the russians harvested the wheat on our fields. the grain for our bread and polyps and they show on 3 pulse keep runs to naples on company. it's one of the biggest agricultural
