10:19 am
the objective, the village of the kremlin, was to take the capital t is in order to set up a regime most serving, if he's interested at the time, it was still unclear that position was also to shooting a campaign that would lead to the systematic destruction. if you crane in agriculture all over the country, funds were attacked. the uh, the, the bomb dark production facilities sort of power stations and they've been our workshops and our office to consult on awesome, on even the venue very precisely that we didn't have any military equipment. in the end. there were no ukrainian troops here in atlanta possible in city of presumably
10:20 am
they found it exciting to watch. everything flew into the air and collapsed in his designs across the water. so they wanted to demonstrate the strength of their country to show their army with strong speed and make us fear the most cheerful. no, not the do they wanted to rank our harvest or food in regards to a viable, impossible city. as long as it wasn't enabled, that's the way i see it. any way you might have to of the the control of the coast was not the same as a 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 all available me.
10:21 am
the russian naval vessels blockaded ukrainian black seaports 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 system long. you have to know that in recent years, late ukraine had started systematically exporting agricultural products, including green to international markets. we were consistently among the top 5, ex borders of corn, wheat, and barley piano exploit that it was of some is to just make more than 90 percent of the exports were shipped via the black sea. then most of it's sort of ex, portable if law and showing them what i'm, i'm frustrated, you've told them the few ships were damaged during the 1st days of the invasion. they were in the ports of odessa and the goliath ships carrying agricultural
10:22 am
products as well. for a typical day, september 11th, which is the semester, the producer, mixed the words to. during the 1st days of the war, russia declared the north western black sea, a zone for so called anti terror operations on a nation. as i can, long as i have nobody here on the truck, no more than i was on the scene was undoubtedly to the navigation on the black sea, my visible nobler to make it so this a route for transporting goods was no longer usable. hope to talk to show their same exposure and have been unable to to during this period, no ukrainian commercial shipping was able to lead the shoals of the black sea rushes blockades of the ports was threatening global food security. you clean, accounted for around 10 percent of global wage. exports making is
10:23 am
a leading. we're exporting country within a few days, 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 hold price of $400.00 associate euro's a tom with these attack on ukraine flooding me, a pushing 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 and the reason, but it will have global context impact beyond anything we've seen since 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've seen parts,
10:24 am
including some of the porters and most vulnerable countries of the world, the egypt, but its population of a 110000000 people is among the most fragile old and a 3rd of its inhabitants split. it standards below the poverty line president of does thought to us c. c has ruled egypt for 10 years. he knows the sky rocketing prices could have dramatic consequences. his country consumes more than $20000000.00 tons of which annually, half of that comes from abroad, mainly from russia and ukraine. bread is the most important daughtry 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 keep you keep in mind. most of the not of
10:25 am
in egypt right is called irish and 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 each acknowledge, 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. almost hundreds of them have enough a ran into hey, are produced from we 2 in deep wood that are the most important the 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 already by the fifty's 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,
10:26 am
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 from fed bread is more than 50 percent subsidized, so that's how the state helps the forest 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, uh, somebody else on the island who i am no longer here, 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 can do. wow, every egyptian is aware of this today, monica, be a good the. what have thought that had the last, the unrest tier would have serious consequences for everyone when the flow i'm at
10:27 am
the high, but it could break the state apart and yes, to an alarm because we haven't done well i'm, we can pull the f u as in umbrella comes of course president, toll c. c hasn't forgotten the resolution. we slows and move the arm spring has 2011 people in. kyra took to the street some cold for bread. freedom injustice. this late to the asked if he's pretty just as a husband robeteck. so he'd been in power to 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 cc increase the amounts he ordered from flat to be approved and the sprint is 2022 of the, the russian leda has made his country into one of the world's leading grain exposes
10:28 am
since 2016. russia has been the largest exposure of weight worldwide. how did the revitalization of russian agriculture take place, the wind velocity of 2 to in change of power at the end of 1999. the situation in russian agricultural was disastrous and with the supply the food, the whole through the 1990s, 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, with waiters for progression,
10:29 am
we decided to put an end to the humanitarian invasion of our country with goods from abroad. i think we were able to put a hold to this development in 2019. this is good, you know, probably the most part, yet the necessity to revive rural areas. that's if that's how they describe the cultural sector into increase productivity. and modernize technology was quite clear. there are both, i have some sort of question. the starting in 2005 vladimir fusion, declared agriculture national priority and started the 1st government to investment programs the but a completely different cross escape this policy. and you twist at the beginning of 2014 moscow. re up to the mind, john squared protests in keys by occupying the crime in financial and russia began
10:30 am
. supposing 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 goods, but to be a, to some and said was an immediate embargo one or wisdom, the food so they put you 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 start well equipped, the entire agricultural system to grow green movies here, the russian state mobilized even greater meetings with the exports of green oil and
10:31 am
gas sources. so starting from around 2020 rush, it became almost a fully self sufficient in terms of agricultural products and food gives you more to pull. you're going to go to any motel the community parts for i see is converted industries saving uh, 6 that are even considered really tech. those are the sanctions imposed on russian 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 pronouncing it's kind of a might to ensure it missed in 2022. we x, quoted, huge quantities there and they've also either with the person that they're expressed to more than 1000000 tons. the system better serve young busher and you don't on the wish. me don't, don't you know, julia, we enter the market that have been firmly in french hands before. the last name was
10:32 am
now we're competing directly with france there. oh, it's assessment. i'm bridge. i'm just leaving a computer. nope. to push the tone, please hold. it grew up and rush, it became stronger as an agricultural power when your bill, me the more the means allowed in the greater of the striving for all tarkey and rest of vacation of strategic areas that domains. carthage salt, the cook. i so i feel so yeah, according to the slogan, will build our own green, silos ourselves up and rather than ordering them from foreign manufacturers who don't, i can't speak someone to see to do an equal cellphone. it filled up the memo the best and maybe we won't even use the global financial system to organize in finance versus easiest to come out. so if you know, see, we'll just found our own agrarian banks and holding the city to exit, gone. all that meant don't like the already you know, to set the . this was the last step towards recitation. within 20
10:33 am
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 at the invasion of ukraine. a country also known as the bred foss could of 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. was a piece of defeat for vladimir tutoring. the, the so he gave his troops a new objective concrete and the lucrative part. if you train the agricultural
10:34 am
regions in the east and south of the country, that's where the st. black coast, for what you knows is locations, soil that some of the world's most full tile, the lion's share view, trans wilson grain is founded on this soil. from may 20th 2022 patients troops took control of the strategically important course of money will pull. the battles to the city is hard to find. 90 percent of the city was destroyed more than $20000.00 people. okay. c the
10:35 am
flooded me a cushion had achieved his goal and amex, ation of the sea of salt. and with this, russian dominance in the region, fears were growing, the russian troops would push for the west and take odessa until the war round hoff of old ukraine's exports was shipped out by the country's because 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 sense was strictly military means that it was good, you know, when it gets a war, applying political, social and economic weapons disappear, but it was english. so was economic,
10:36 am
it's clear, a country would be the 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 with agriculture is i don't know, but i think that we won't be able to finance the ukrainian armed forces sufficiently to put that in 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 most go systematically taking grain from russian occupied areas and transporting as l squared. way for the dollar cents have bad decisions, thought of somebody before the war. we worked 75000 hector's of land and during the war we lost 25000 hector's. the russians harvested the wheat on our fields. the grain for our bread and polyps and these are on 3 pulse keep
10:37 am
runs to naples on company. it's one of the biggest agricultural enterprises in ukraine. his father alexi is that a tool skeet found the company in 1991 and transformed this into a flagship for the country. it was a symbol of independence from russia. maybe he's on his present on those of the country and become a military targets at the start of the pool. i didn't want that or is it? uh, social is not confined ukrainian green. so those are still in areas that are sometimes occupied by russia. the wireless both thought that they switch them around 140000 tons of grain had been stolen from us. and so started the invasion of combining bushes almost always had complained as tom, a boy was a boy, that's a really compromise or operation way. and i said we're interested in things, but a lot, it's only running at 30 percent. and by now it doesn't dollars, but meaning actually what's left of it. and then the letter is up to 2 products,
10:38 am
as i say, although it's not get clear how many agricultural operations have full of interruption hands. what is 2nd is that the kremlin is laying claim to the entire we top us in the place is adult coupons. at the end of 2022, that would be about $6000000.00 tons, part of which was destined for expos. hundreds of seized or stolen trucks transported ukrainian weight to crime in which was annexed by russia in 2014. the destination is the commercial portion of sebastopol task, calling the boy e, and i'd like to make the observation that there's never been that much green and
10:39 am
crimea, and there never will be the best years even before crimea was annexed. there never been such a large quantity of grain for exports on board and now with the war, the porter service topo is becoming a real hub for all these ships based on the sold in the between may and june of 2022 at least 12 prices but at the same dogwood sebastopol screened terminal as soon as they were loaded with grain from the occupied territories, they officially set cause for 11 or turkey. but as soon as they reached the high seas, the ships disappeared from cracking. rachel or
10:40 am
when may 2nd 2020 to an empty russian fraser the much for us posting to teach the it's of us to put in on the 29th of may. it turned up in the swimming pools of latasha blue, unloaded wait, the to put the nicholas named people, cause we shall, vicious, new hope is low city, satellite imagery show. most of the green went to syria. you have to know, syria is one of the few countries that supports the russia, an aggressor state. there's continual trade taking place between the 2 countries. yeah, that's, that's a 14 a 40 page and i'm saying what? yeah. so all the facts of this deal must be no, no secret even yet the responsibility lies with the leadership of the aggressor state. yeah, it's a, it's a dime is so okay, and this talk to you now. hello. so that he may see much more show we all see that exported. ukrainian green is continuing by our crimea, today's odyssey almost every day we can see satellite images have got another ship being loaded with ukrainian green. i was on 1000 right. so claims comes along
10:41 am
the us through yet the cost of the war and ukraine was over the many billions of dollars. some of that money flowed into rushes, military machine, the systematic destruction, that's best and confiscation have been unparalleled in europe since the nazi occupation during world war 2, the, the kremlin was for lowering is another global objective with these actions. removing you crying as
10:42 am
a market competitor to this. so this gets exposed to dillman, pulling into alicia, and you can even before 202230 percent of these exports worldwide came from russia and ukraine. of course rush, i wanted to annex the eastern ukrainian old lessons that were more we've been corners ground just solely humbly. if i did the east bikes in that way rush, i can further increase the chair of the global market for a week. and always, while reducing your trans, your personal emotional yeah, i do believe it does. you can use it, especially given that russia had a record harvest in 2022, which further increased its exports and don't expose the lend. mckinney mando don't only know either cheat openings cuz the school school, the school, hollis will not my destroying ukrainian agricultural sector. russia is in fact trying to eliminate one of its biggest competitors on the global market for a week. the latter see, last week elisa didn't come, drive it out of other markets for agricultural products as well. the issue into
10:43 am
a scuffle, disclose that along with the book seat the and there's another threat that has come with the attack on ukraine, letting me a tooth and has the diffused tooth ticking time bomb a not the global economy of balance it's inflation. the don't think they need to mean of under minimal deal. see these out in 2021. 2022 good. that we already had 2 years of food inflation, which was triggered by the pandemic right now. since the value creation chains had changed on national and then continental, and even global level, so you don't like this. wildfire had already started referring to these are now in february 2022. the german humanitarian aid organization based on that have said the price in the it's for food to get a new record high numbers. and at the end of the month, rush attacked ukraine. we made some sense for that with just one more spark added
10:44 am
to a fire that was already burning. and that produced more inflation and tension all go through is done for us generally. and it also the, the situation quickly goes out of control. and the weakest countries, like in egypt, were process, climbed 45 percent by the end of 2020 to the other was auto was is that because of rising fuel prices? the farmers compared their situation to a wedding reception where someone dies or will have what i was, or the man, joy becomes greece. how do i have the most of the time that goes what i've been seeing, one of the 3 of them is the price rises for natural gas and gasoline and other oils and get us farmers hard. mike, i'm my yo, but how did the war with them and that sort of i have a water pump that's even good. if prices go up,
10:45 am
everything gets more expensive than the fact that a sunroof, including the use of the pump, some motor with a girl. i got to say that she had of us the best value for all man because sometimes i need workers to help me because i can't do it all on my own. since the start of the war and ukraine, wages have risen sharply. a worker they used to earn 70 or 80 pounds a day now gets 150 pounds. wages have doubles the place. the inflation sprayed with lightning speed cheated. the cumulative impacts of the attack on ukraine, waste and sanctions. and the corona virus pandemic, which affected countries pool and rich in the south and in the north extensively, in order to show good will, vladimir putin said he was ready to negotiate the
10:46 am
today. there is a beacon on the black sea as the beacon of hope. the beacon of possibility the beacon of release. you know, well that needs it's more than ever. on june 22nd 2020 to 5 months off to the start of the war. russia and ukraine signed in a cold, under guidance of the united nations kentucky image pollution to meet that ukraine to resume exports of grain visor. black say the 25000000 tons stored in ukrainian silos could finally be loaded onto the ships and
