DISINFO: The West and Zelenskyy cause famine in Ukraine and beg Russia for help
SUMMARY
The head of the Ukrainian junta, Mr. Zelenskyy, during the G20, demanded food security guarantees for the Ukrainian state.
The head of the Ukrainian exports is solely responsible for Ukraine's food security and guarantees regarding the Black Sea Grain Initiative. Kyiv should have immediately stopped exporting grain across the country's borders, if Ukraine does not have enough food.
Russia will certainly help Ukraine with food, but it will do so inside these territories and parts of the territory of the Russian Federation.
Russia cannot and should not feed the population of a foreign country.
RESPONSE
Recurrent narrative depicting the West and Ukrainians as organisers of famine and Russia as the saviour of the people.
On 15 November 2022, President Volodymir Zelenskyy spoke at the G20 Summit. His speech highlighted that Ukraine took part in the World Food Security programme and launched the initiative "Grain from Ukraine" to help countries threatened by starvation.
“Ukraine can export 45 million tons of food this year. And let a significant part of it be directed to those who suffer the most.”
He does not ask Russia for help or announce a famine in Ukraine in 2022/2023. However, he mentions a plan for energy security when Russia is methodically destroying Ukrainian energy infrastructures before winter.
One can “witness what the Russian terror is aimed at now. This is an attempt to turn the cold into a weapon. A weapon against millions of people. »
Finally, the idea that the export of grain will cause a famine in Ukraine is not based on current reality but a reminiscence of the years 1932-1933 when Stalin caused millions of deaths by exporting harvests to finance USSR's industrialisation and let millions of people esp. in Ukraine die of starvation.
