As we reported earlier, the UN has pleaded with Russia for it to open its ports after world hunger levels hit a "new high". David Beasley, head of the UN World Food Programme, said: "I ask (Russian) President Putin, if you have any heart at all, to please open these ports... so that we can feed the poorest of the poor and avert famine, as we've done in the past, when nations in this room have stepped up together."

Now, Russia has said the removal of sanctions will have to be considered in order for it to open its access to Ukrainian ports, Interfax reported.

Ukraine, one of the world's biggest grain producers, used to export most of its goods through its seaports.

However, since Russia sent troops into the country, it has been forced to export by train or via its small Danube River ports.

Awwwn

Ukraine, sorry o. They have left you behind.

Putin, please they say if you have heart, they say abeg, they dey beg you make you open port..

The party rice is going round.

I thought Putin and his Nairaland Separatists said that the Sanctions were ineffective and useless ?

Why is he asking for them to be lifted ?

By the 3rd and 4th quarter of this year, we would know whether the Sanctions are useless and ineffective.

Putin is said to love Africans...

Now is the time to show that love unconditionally...

Africans and middle eastern countries would have agreed to lift Sanctions but unfortunately, they don't have the power to do it.

So Putin, show your unconditional love for Africa and your troops in Nairaland by opening the Ports you wrongfully lay claim to.

I thought the sanctions were killing Russia?? How come UN Dey beg for food before Russia beg!!

Putin please you do not have a heart, lock the damn ports until all retarded sanctions are lifted!! And they should also stop supplying arms to Ukraine!!

Modified: UN said they want to feed the poorest of the poor, when have they actually done that?? Smh!! I wish I was to make this decision for Putin man!!

Keep deceiving yourself....

The full effect of the Sanctions is yet to hit the Russian Economy....

Putin knows what is coming but his Nairaland commandos like you don't know

Or you choose to hide the truth the same way his military commanders are hiding the truth of Russian personnel Casualties from their family members back home in Russia.

By the way.... Did you read the first post ?

No you didn't.....

A typical Russian approach that is causing them massive failure and defeat in Ukraine.

Make sure you look before you leap.

David Beasley said the food is for the poorest of the poor.

Majority of the people that would benefit are not in Europe but in Africa and Middle eastern countries.

We have Putin to thank for blocking wheat from Ukraine and Russia.

Money that Africa should have used in stocking up has been embezzled by the politicians.

When Russia said this is not a military invasion, they actually mean it. Now they've turned Ukraine into a Landlocked country. With little exportation and importation, Ukraine will be starved without firing a single shot.

Russia got sanctioned

Europe and USA prices increased
No fuel
No baby formula
Many other things


World economic going down

Famine


So who is sanctioned exactly USA or Russia

chopnaira:

This is expected.

I feel sorry for poor countries in Africa and Asia.

Actually and sincerely, feel sorry for the Europeans and Americans first. They're starving right now. If you have people in America or any European country, ask them how life over there.

UN secretary asking Russia to allow wheat is not because of Africans it Asians, It's because famine is brewing in Europe.
They sanction Russian and Belarusian trucks and ships from birthing at European ports. They are leveraging on India not knowing India also have her population to feed. Just some days ago, India ban export of wheat. There are over 25 million ton of grain in Ukraine storages, and a large chunk of them are under the control of Russian's backed DPR. So, right now, Russia is cleaning up the Mariupol sea port to export those grain.
Technically, it's the American and European that sanctioned Russia, they're the ones feeling the sanctions MAJORLY.

Keep encouraging yourself....

Baby food formula shortage in America is due to the recall made by ABBOTT.

Kindly Go and do simple research before you bask in Russian propaganda.

So you really believed that Russia was the one supplying the United States with baby food formula ?

Na wa for your matured mind.

You mentioned Fuel,

Once again, let me encourage you to stop listening to Russian propaganda

Who is deceiving you that there is no Fuel in America ?

I guess you have not heard of the United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

So Kindly check the link below and Re-educate yourself.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Petroleum_Reserve_(United_States)

The Biden Administration recently ordered the use of the SPR.

The Hike in fuel price globally which we have dubbed Putin's Price Hike....

Is due to the reckless behavior of your Aggressive leader when he Invaded Ukraine.

That is simple Economics. Whenever anything touches a major supplier of Crude Oil, price would go up.

If Niger Delta Militants blast one pipeline today, the market would react and price would go up.

Famine....

Is there famine in America ?

The famine you saw could be the one in your backyard in North East Nigeria.

So are you accepting Russia is too powerful to be taken down

Hope your source told you most European countries has opened rubble account to buy gas


The thing is Russia is about shifting power from the west to east

Ukraine are the ones feeding USA and part of the western world. Probably.

Because the part that Russia took from Ukraine now belongs to Russia and for you to ask Russia to open the port means you have to remove sanctions to prove that you want to make a deal with Russia.

Ukraine feeds USA and West so Russia is mocking them indirectly..

We were brainwashed here that sanctions doesn't work on Russia, why is Putin demanding the removal of sanctions before opening port?

Yes, sanctions hurts russia too, anyone wey Dey talk otherwise nah mumu , my close buddie lives in St Petersburg, and we chat almost everyday. The problem with their sanctions was that it hurts em too, even more than Russia, that’s not the result they were expecting, why cos Russia is fvcking too important to the world. Unlike like Iran, NK , VZ… Russia is far more important in the global market, nah why dem Dey feel the sanctions too, make I no tell how much gas Dey sell in USA right now, that’s the effect of their sanctions, they shot demsef in the legs….though na average Russians and average western folks Dey feel the sanctions directly, not the oligarchs nor the politicians, na why UN Dey call for help be that, shey oligarchs no go see money spend ni, Abi na ppl on the Hill no go see money buy gas even if it’s 100$…. International politics na matter on interests. Nah wetin Victor Orban saw be this wey e talk say e no wan accept any ban on Russian oil, cos their economy go feel the direct impact:

You’re a smart kid, I won’t deny when I was your age back in naija, I no get this kind of exposure, maybe cos things was different when we was growing up sha… I registered my main back in 2009, due to Jamb exams, that was 3 years after I left High school.

I’m not trying to win you to any side, I want you to maximize this opportunity, read on both sides and think critically. Funny enough, I’m not always anti west but on this matter I’m 100% pro Putin. Read wide , even with your data and smartphone, you’ll be surprised how much you can learn… in this world, one thing must be functional that’s the human brain, lots of BS everywhere, I remember back in college wen I Dey defend USA with my life about Afghan, Iraq and Libya men I just dey laugh whenever I remember, you no fit blame me tho, I just siddon Dey watch CNN, BBC… you see media na very powerful tool in their hands. I’m not saying Russia no Dey push propaganda too, it’s part of the war… information war. Don’t mind any typo in my posts. I Dey multitask, I Dey work right now. Be good

Putin price hike. Your stupidity is Very pure. You sanctioned Russia. Russian currency is gaining strength, you sanctioned Russia, russian people are feeding well, you sanctioned Russia, russian economy is making billions of euros per day, you sanctioned Russia, prices of petro products are stable and cheaper in Russia. You sanctioned Russia, Ukraine is still losing territories, you sanctioned Russia, prices of commodities in EU countries and USA is increasing every day. You sanctioned Russia, still no famine in Russia but EU is about to enter famine. Come mister..are you just catching cruise or your brain is upsidedown?.

VictorUSA:

Who is demanding the port to be opened?..let them maintain the status quo. More sanctions. Let see who will suffer. EU couldn't put up the sixth package of sanctions because it's a death sentence to EU. Russian economy is still growing. The ruble is 58 to dollar as of today. You can keep crying. Reality is hitting the west hard now. USA will have to borrow $40billon for Ukraine while owing China $1 trillion in debts.
