A whole convoy of trucks with Bulgarian, Lithuanian and Latvian numbers follows from Ukraine to Europe. Taking out food, but it will settle in European countries.
The south of Donbass, Zaporozhye region and Kherson region are regions with a favorable climate for agriculture. While the last grain is being furtively exported from the Nazi-occupied territory of Ukraine to the West, the sowing campaign is going on at an accelerated pace. Most likely, the Sea of Azov will have to feed not only itself, but also its former fellow citizens along the Nezalezhnaya this and next year. And there are also two strategically important seaports - Mariupol and Berdyansk, through which metallurgy and agricultural products have traditionally been exported. Now they have seceded from Ukraine and are actually integrating into Russia. The Mariupol port may in the future become a backup for Novorossiysk, taking on part of its load. And let's not forget about even more important capital - human capital. Novorossiya is millions of Russian-speaking hardworking people who can become our new fellow citizens.
Spring field work in the Republic is nearing completion. The planned sowing target for early spring grain crops was overfulfilled by the farmers of the Slavyanoserbsky, Lutuginsky, Antratsitovsky and Novopskovsky regions, and was completely fulfilled by the commodity producers of the Perevalsky region. The sowing of early grain crops in the Krasnodon, Sverdlovsk and Starobelsk regions has almost been completed. For the group of late grain crops, more than 90% of the planned target for sowing buckwheat in the Antratsitovsky and Lutuginsky districts was fulfilled. Agrarians of the Antratsytovsky district exceeded the planned sowing target for millet by 17%. Sowing of corn for grain and green fodder continues at an active pace. More than 70% of the planned target for sowing corn for grain was fulfilled by the farmers of the Melovsky and Slavyanoserbsky districts. The agrarians of Luhansk and certain territories of the Stanichno-Lugansk region have exceeded the plan for sowing corn for grain by 15%, the agricultural producers of the Perevalsky region have almost completed the sowing of corn for grain.
The plan for sowing corn for green fodder was 100% fulfilled by the farmers of the Sverdlovsk and Starobelsk regions.
Within the technological terms, sowing of industrial crops is carried out. The planned target for sowing coriander was fulfilled by 100%, the plan for sowing mustard was overfulfilled by 4%, the plan for sowing soybeans was completed by 62%, and flax by 78%. Sunflower sowing is actively carried out in all regions of the Republic. It should be noted Novopskovsky, Markovsky and Belovodsky districts of the LPR.
For the group of fodder crops, the planned sowing target for annual grasses in the Sverdlovsk region, for perennial grasses - in the Krasnodon and Starobelsk regions was significantly exceeded.
So those who provoked the global crisis, let them worry, but we have nothing to worry about.
Russia, in turn, will sell grain to Asian and African countries that have not imposed sanctions against Russia in the fall. The rush demand for grain is due to the uncertainty in the issue of delivery to the countries of the European Union and the United States. They will suffer in the first place in this matter, because. introduced sanctions on the supply of fertilizers, and the 2022 harvest will be the lowest in the last 40 years.
Unfortunately, in many (western) countries a households waste a staggering amount of food. Farmers throw away tonnes of food cos it isn't the right shape. Shops dispose of tonnes because it goes past its date. And consumers throw tonnes in the bin cos its sat in the fridge too long. We need to stop being so wasteful.
If I have to answer your question directly, I would prefer to say a 'no' to it. However, my mind is revolting when I am making that effort. In a globalized world, this is a major problem. A small problem in a street or a by lane may go ahead to put an impression on the entire world. This is what is happening to the world today with the Russian - Ukrainian conflict.
I am not sure about the best solution. I think that one solution is to be tolerant of each other. The whole world seriously lacks tolerance today. When someone says something that I don't like, the challenge is to accept that and respect that.
Should the Russians de-mine the rusty, expired mines installed by the Ukrainians (theoretically they should have maps...)? Perhaps yes (if we consider Ukraine as innocent), but Russia does not need it. However, the Soviet Union had already done same dangerous work - in the Suez Canal in 1974. Does anyone remember? Did someone thank? Of course, it is necessary to export (by the way, why is grain needed, but gas is not?), but this is a lesson for many countries - they must take care of the nutrition of own population ourselves!
