the the, [000:00:00;00] the love and respect the,

the new york september 20th 2023 heads of state and government from all over the world came to new york for the general assembly of the united nations. they came to listen to a man whose country had been hoarding off award for the question of unimaginable brutality from what was in the view that man was ukrainian president for 11 minutes and then sky. it was interesting to serena for the 1st time. he needs to make clear that russia is a threat to his people were still, they were using a new weapon with the destructive potential to threaten the secuity of the entire planet. rises launching the fluids prizes as weapons in exchange for recommendations for some. if not all of the capture territories,

they even pumped spanish from the atlantic coast of effort gone to the southeast asia. and this is the threat scale. we have to stop it. we must be united to make it anyway ill do it. so that will gain the to do this with that and to now and spot president semanski work. how was plotting me of food from deploying it and to watch. and in order to understand the extent to which food can be used as an international instrument of power, we must go back to the stop the invasion,

the back to february 24th 2022. at 5 i had in the 1st russian bones were dropped on ukrainian cities, the few hours nice columns of tanks into ju 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 material peroration to unfold on the european continent since the end of world war 2.

the, the objective, the village of the kremlin was to take the capital t's in order to set up a regime most of the, if he's interested at the time, it was still unclear that position was also pursuing 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 or 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 and city of presumably they found it exciting to watch. everything flew into the air and collapsed in your sites across the border. so they wanted to demonstrate the strength of their country to show their army was strong and make us fear the most cheerful. no, not the do they wanted to rank or harvest or food in regards to a viable, impossible to this to because it wasn't enable. that's the way i see it. any way you might have to of the the control of the coast was another brain with the criminal and the stars at the

innovation that way exports of ukrainian drain via the us off. and the black seas could be prevented by all available me. the russian naval vessels blockaded ukrainian black c ports for months while tease mind its territorial waters toward off and then 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's sort of q x portable if law and showing them one

person you've told them in your will. the few ships were damaged during the 1st days of the invasion. they were in the ports of odessa and nikolai ships carrying agricultural products as well for a typical day september 11th. which is nice and that's the producer mix the words to during the 1st days of the war, russia declared the north western black c, a zone for a so called anti terror operations on your needs. and as i said, 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 there's a route for transporting goods was no longer a usable ocean. where same exposure to intervene and they brought to a during this period, no ukrainian commercial shipping was able to leave 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've 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 or price of $400.00 associate euro's a 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 famine. 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's world war 2. the impact of the war is global,

and systemic is certainly 6 countries count on russia and ukraine for more than houses that we've seen parts, 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 pulled in a 3rd of its inhabitants livid standards below the poverty, not president of desktop to us. c. c has ruled egypt for 10 years. he knows the skyrocketing prices could have dramatic consequences. his country it 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 stifling each it. the country is the world's 2nd largest importer of

weight. i want somebody to know why they made the man and that it for a little document give you to keep that in mind. most of the knowledge in egypt right is called irish and which literally means life. people are very dependent on it all without bread. there is no life, isn't it? and that's why we call it i you shy plays again and pay you one. 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 a 100 the, i'm have enough, a rand. good, hey, are produced from we 2 in the wood that are the most important animal feeds in boy, so we feed humans and animals are like, i'll come on a lot of is that in sand 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, the government to decided to regulate and monitor its production in 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 as a fixed price, which is set by the government and subsidized the 5th from fed. it's yeah, if you down the computer because the government covers the price difference from fed, brett is more than 50 percent subsidize over there. 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 this bread family dollar lifecycle down. yeah, awesome. awesome. well, somebody, if someone is on my buddy who i know nobody else was there, but 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. wow. every egyptian is aware of this today. monica being did that well. 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. yes. to an alarm because we haven't done well can philadelphia as a little of the comes of course president tells c. c hasn't forgotten the resolution. we slows and move. the arab spring has 2011 people in car or top to the street, some cold for bread, freedom injustice dislike to the else to if he's pre, just as a husband, even robeteck. so he'd been in power to sushi. he is subsidized bread and shoes. the stupidity is elsie's 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 flatter me a push. in the spring of 2022 of the, the russian leda has made his country into one of the world's leading grain exposes since 2016, russia has been the largest exposure of which worldwide. how did the revitalization of russian agriculture take place? the when flooded be of to didn't change of power at the end of 1999. the situation in russian agriculture was disastrous. and with the supply the food, the pull 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, paying with waiters for progression, but 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 2090 on this issue that you're probably the most part, yet the necessity to revive rural areas that says, that's how they describe the cultural sector into increase productivity. and modernize technology was quite clear, they are both, i guess i'm part of the starting in 2005, letting me a pollution declared echo culture, a national priority, and started the 1st government investment programs the but a completely different crisis gave this policy in twist at the beginning of 2014, most career up to the mind,

john square purchasing keys by occupying the crime in peninsula and russia began. supposing separatist movements in parts of the don't pass region in order to isolated from the rest of ukraine. the these 2 events actually mock the wheel stops of rushes, invasion to view crane. the waste reacted with sanctions on most of that to me to some and said was an immediate embargo on all wisdom the food so the putting on that bill we all get a good don't look at the, on the market the way to you know, 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 element. also i forget about french cheese incomplete. don't start totally

quit the entire agricultural system to grow green movies here. the russian state mobilized even greater meetings with the exports of green oil and gas sources. so starting from around 2020 rush, it became almost a fully self sufficient in terms of agricultural products and food. as you move to pull, you usually go to any motel the community parts for i see is converted industries, saving a 6 that are considered really take those at the sanctions imposed on russian by western countries, lead russia to look around for new alternative markets. we 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 pressing. good. there's parts to more than 1000000 tons the system by serve young busher and you're going from

the wish me to don't you know, julia, we entered a market that had been firmly in french hands before the last name was now we're competing directly with friends there and let's just estimate them bridge. i'm just leaving a computer. nope. to push the appraisals. it grew but rush, it became stronger as an agricultural power. $100.00 bill, me to the more the means allowed in the greater the striving for all tarkey and rest of vacation of the strategic areas. the domains publish it. it's on top of that. but i still have to just the yeah, according to the slogan, buckle. so we'll build our own green silos ourselves up and rather than ordering them from for and manufacturers it don't cost pick shown to see to do it equals football. no, it goes up the path and maybe we won't even use the global financial system to organize and finance versus easiest math. so if you know, so we'll just found our own agrarian banks and holding specific to exit, gone on that meant on that day or dean, you know,

to set the . this was the last step towards recitation. within 20 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 bred, foster to the world, gave him an opportunity to try his house. the russian armies withdrew from the northern parts of the country without success for the taking kids. was a busy defeat for vladimir tutoring. the,

the, so he gave his troops a new objective, concrete and the lucrative part, if you train the agricultural 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 of ukraine's wilson grain is founded on this soil. on may 20th 2022 patients troops took control of the strategically important course of money will pull. the battles to the city was horrified. 90 percent of the city was destroyed more than $20000.00 people looking at

the flooding mi cushion had achieved his goal and amex ation of the sea of salt. and with this russian dominance in the region, fee is well growing. the prussian troops would push for the west and take odessa until around half a whole ukraine's exports was shipped out. 5, the country's biggest lexi port, the let's see of this room and how to assure me that russia is waging total more. and if it's not

a war and the conventional sense was strictly military means and it was given, you know, when it gets a war, applying political, social and economic weapons disappear, of their english. so was economic, that's clear, a country would be weekend without a working economy. show of what they can send them. and that's what the russians are aiming for, striking against the most important sectors kind of for, to elizabeth unless locks them. because if we can't work and agriculture is i don't have enough and then 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 most go systematically taking grain from russian occupied areas and transporting us elsewhere with the dollars sense of bad decisions about assemblies 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 green for our bread, symbolic, sinister, and 3 pulse keep runs the need 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 own those of the country and become a military targets at the start of the pool. uh, yeah, its any want that if uh, social is not come, 5 ukrainian green. so those are still in areas that are sometimes occupied by russia and then the marsh, i suppose, thought they switch them around $140000.00 tons of grain have been stolen from us since the start of the invasion of combining bushes almost always had combined our style a boy was a boy that's severely compromise or operation way. and i said we're conditioning 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 your daughter doesn't have to care about our sister. i say, although it's not get clear how many agricultural operations are full of interruption hands 40. second is that the kremlin is laying claim to the entire we top us in the place, is it ok pause. 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 cry. mia, which was annexed by russia in 2014. the, the destination is the commercial portion of sebastopol

task. nicole and the boy, you know, that's a cool. i like to meet the observation that there's never been that much green and 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 port as it was total is becoming a real hub for all these ships based thomas holden, the between may and june of 2022, at least 12 prices. but at the same dogwood, sylvester pulled screen terminal. as soon as they were loaded with grain from the occupied territories, they officially set course for 11 or turkey. but as soon as they reached the high seas,

the ships disappeared from cracking rachel or on may 2nd 2020, to an empty russian fraser. the march was posted to teach the it's of us to put ban on the 29th of may. it turned up in the swimming pools of the top here which unloaded wait. the to put the nicholas name kit for kaiser. shop dishes, your office low city, satellite images 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 trait 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 good time is so okay, and this talk to you now. hello. so you may see much more show we all see that export of ukrainian green is continuing by

a crimea today's out of almost every day we can see satellite images have got another ship being loaded with ukrainian green. i was on desolate so claims comes along the foster, yet the cost of the war in ukraine was over the many big installers. some of that money flowed into rushes, military machine, the, 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 following is another global objective with these actions. removing you crying as a market competitor company . so those to, to expose, to don't want pulling into we see education even before 202230 percent of these exports worldwide came from russia and ukraine toner and of course, rush, i want it to an extra eastern ukrainian old lessons us where more wheat and corners ground just one that they hardly, if i did the how many spikes in that way rush, i can further increase that chair at the global market for a week. and always while reducing your trans chemical. personally, i'm assuming you have to do it on this. you can use it, especially given that russia had a record harvest in 2022, which further increased at tech sports and don't expose the men mckinney mando. don't please only lawyer cheat openings as quickly as possible. disco, 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 and drive it out of other markets for agricultural products as well. the issue into a scuffle, disclose that in the book seat the and there's another thread that has come with the a tech couldn't ukraine, letting me a tooth and has the diffused tooth ticking time bomb and not the global economy of balance it's inflation. the do so think they need to meanwhile, and i mean, well, to see these out in 20212022 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 from it . it isn't a stand in february 2022, the german humanitarian aid organization based on that have said the price into

it's for food to hit a new record high numbers. and at the end of the month, because russia attacked ukraine, we made no sense for that with just one more spark added to a fire that was already burning. and that produced more inflation and tension all go for is done for us generally. and it also the, the situation quickly goes out of control in the weakest countries, like in egypt with price has climbed 45 percent by the end of 2020 to the last autumn was is that because of rising fuel prices, the farmers compared their situation to a wedding reception where someone dies as well. yeah. when i was of the man, joy becomes greece, kind of, 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. i mean, gasoline and other oils and get us farmers hard like on my jo,

but how did the war with them and it fell out. so i have a water pump that's even good. if prices go up, everything gets more expensive than the fact that some of the, including the use of the pumps motor with a go to the how goes they've heard of us. so i wasn't really fell 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 work or they used to earn 70 or 80 pounds a day. now gets 150 pounds. wages have doubled of 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 today. there is a beacon on the black sea as the beacon of hope, the beacon of possibility, the beacon of the lease. you know, well that leads it more than ever. on june 22nd 2020 to 5 months after the start of the war. russia and ukraine signed in a code under guidance of the united nations kentucky image pollution to me said ukraine to resume exports of grain,

visor black seats. the $25000000.00 tons stored in ukrainian silos could finally be loaded onto the ships and brought to people in the southern hemisphere where it was desperate they made it a few days off to the cold was signed. there was another bombardment. on july 30th 2022, a hail of rushing missiles rained down on the ukrainian port of the clive. the target was alexi, the tools, the founder and ceo of the cultural holding company. and if you look a symbol of the independence of ukrainian farming petoskey resisted the russian naval blockade and was considered a national hero. the part of the house where he and his wife slept, was obliterated. both of them were killed instantly. the grain expose agreement gave rusher,

vice that it could tighten and loose and it will ocean was showing ukraine and the rest of the world that he alone was calling the shots. i estimate for the city of oakland uh towards a really display of patriotism in the multiple scroll. over the years the man made himself a fortune to unlimited his age because we could have been living anywhere in the world. i live is alyssa some thought to the state in his hometown, nikolai. he did everything he could to get export from ukraine, running louis as using what the exports that i thought oh, clean a day off to the death of alexi that a toy sky on august, the 1st 2022, a ship called the rezone left of this and went to see loaded with 26000 tons of grain. in accordance with the code of the 22nd of july was the 1st ship allowed to enter the black sea from the ukrainian coast.

after was inspected and is stumble, it continued through the bus for us on its way to the mediterranean. the ukraine opened an additional weight shipping broods in the southwestern part of the country . the shipping terminal was built and the port on the den, you put the at the remaining board hundreds of trucks daily was supplying tons of great work. quickly loaded onto the boxes, the destination, the romanian pools of constance for the south. this new roots was part of a new solidarity elaine's plant. kids had managed to persuade brussels that it could explore to training drain via e u. countries without being required to pay customs duties.

the a year laser and july 2023. ukraine had exported around 13000000 tons of grain a 3rd as weight, but the situation remain tends neighboring countries with displaced, some of the few cranes crane was faintly and suppose it online through the use hold was one example. what's more grain, you control by ha, since the war star says the russian vice was clipping teisha than ever at the end of july 2023. there were many russian fraud and missile attacks on odessa and the danube terminal, which is just a few 100 nations from romania, the many

thousands of tons of grain went up in flames, flooding me, who should again cause panic on commodities markets for those and yet is that of my worries deal difficulty just throwing out the solution saw it will give you all upset this. what was it i see the front of the show. but i mean, just as he did at the start of the war, the russian dictates were gain or to the blockade of all ukrainian black see ports from the end of july 2023. ukraine responded with military measures to use off to the russian invasion. you trying to pack 54 percent of the occupied areas, the since the beginning of the votes. russia have sold more weight than ever before.

in the 2020 to 2023 season. that was 47000000 tons. the unprecedented amount came thanks to school check book diplomacy. the pure annoying, even though we see you, is solely lucy to pay for a year and a half. the russian limited classic grain exported pen nationalized. we trading p u . it sells wheat at different prices to friendly countries that you'll, according to market conditions of quality, be reluctant and critical. countries are threatened with having green supplies, cut off the old units. what we're seeing is black males. diplomacy can do salt those on cool man said that's easy, i just picked up from a couple of or a backwards from, from out of my course countries maintaining normal relations with russia who societies do not stroke. russell phobia in the media on the international stage. i don't know will always be in a position to negotiate agreements, including long term one us now frustrating as i see up as a small one, the major. these are countries that try to maintain reasonable relations with russia,

which rest on the 2 principles i mentioned to you about the source paper stick to your don't globally simple as i'll tell tomorrow at bonham elementary that russia has a tight hold on everything at the moment no more the queen put and says old molten, if you need me. yes, i've raised prices and costs chaos. and some of global trade did. you can this doing business with me as a risk? somebody's going on, but you won't find any other week right now, but, but i thought, would you be a, you wait diplomacy? inaction can be seen most clearly at the united nations. the general assembly is now working on the router solution entitled underestimate gas through crane. let's go back to the 2nd of march 2022. when a week of to the ukraine, conflicts began a resolution against depression. aggression was passed. the 40 countries still refused to support the resolution by the voting against us or

abstaining. among them was 17 african and many asian countries, the 6 months slideshow. on november 14th 2022, there was another voltage, this time to demand reparation payments from russia to ukraine. the resolution was adopted by majority of $94.00 countries, but they were for say no votes, including from china and south africa. i'm 73 extensions. talk a i give them the boy in the could be a fuck. i'm the one of the overwhelming majority of the countries of africa and the middle east must have chosen to adopt a neutral position on the russian ukrainian war. viewed from an economic standpoint, jessica and the rest of remains. an important partner for these countries, for russia is also a military presence in a few african countries. they have to watch with mazda mercenaries are deployed all

over the us. the whole region in russian snipers can be found in libya. sedan with molly and bertina saw. so what can i settle say in a moment or 2. the via so don marley's, what's the reference for the to the school? did you? is it a group of $10.00, you know, square feet with them? especially. i mean, we see in this country say we're not taking sides. we don't want any trouble with russia the undergoing the naturally, there are authoritarian regimes among the almost like many big democracies have this position to be honest. we want to remain neutral and expand our relations with russia because we need to have us go to the google. she, the gal that you put there. let's just take india or brazil home. they will come to big democracies that are upholding their political and diplomatic and economic relations with russia. despite our sanctions, which are meant to isolate russian who's on q one, who you know to me, which one have well is what is what you said you want to do in

the the war and ukraine reflects the growing gap between the absolute west and the rest of the world's population, also known as the global south, the since the status of the invasion. so again, law for all of the, if it present russian foreign minister, has been struggling in a for kevin and relates to spread rushes message, which is, it's vladimir who's, who can guarantee his partner, stability and independence in this new multi polar world. as opposed to the west, which is becoming ever more hedge, a monic ingredient the presidency. lensky takes every opportunity to present this. now she t boned slave is not to be full spot. the kremlin is using its agricultural power

to deepen global divisions even further. the old mass as to pollution is defending russian interests by any means as he disregards the aims and principles of the un. what, when this water will continue from there, simply isn't any other option here. hey elizabeth james, if we could picture late, it's not clear what will happen next on. yes them, i'll get some food and won't just stop with ukraine. another believe it's up to what we've got to bring this tyrant down and restore order is to put it on the how long will he continue to terrorize europe and our whole planet? and what's the simple input to the 0 and everything comes to an end at some point similar to what you can use the . 2 the. 2

the. 2 2 2 the. 2 the he has hopes he could make it to your assistant warehouse. now probably use back in his home country of gambia, in west africa, trying to set up a business with us of an international aid organization. but this capital one is not is this plan is so destined to fail home again. in the 1st few minutes on d w, when i was younger,

kind of the best one of the most proud of choice. it was stigmatized my generation, these cannabis as a part of our culture. no, we're not doing that v as a marijuana accrued strongly conflict, but sometimes for unexpected reasons. we the new young generations want to change our region lucky, older generations, equal rejected legalization. and then when generations class in 19 minutes, d, w, the drawing, our interests you tell us to me and these are the known. we talked experts not living with them anymore. this is not a good environment,

not for me. not for my children without civil rights and with no prospect. but what can we do? carry on and some last day, a nice the nice you get their hosting for america in baby shuttle stops august 3rd on d w. the is just being able to use these are our top stores, major business swap between russia and the west has taken place into 324 prisoners were exchanged at anchor at 4. think the american journalist, evan task of age, former us marine poll freeman among those returns to russia off by the impressive cough who was convicted in jeopardy of getting a chechen rebels in bondage. this walk is the biggest between russia on the west
