Rishabh Sethi, a representative of the Indian delegation to the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) which took place in Russia talked to Sputnik and shared his opinion on the role the forum has in building cooperation among Russia and the non-western countries such as China, India and African states.

Rishabh Sethi is a member of India's Centre for Promotion of International Initiatives and a scholar at Russia's Tver State University. He took part in two panel discussions at SPIEF that started on 15 June.

The panels were ‘Youth Outlook on the Horizons of the New Global Order’ and ‘Multi-track diplomacy: The Role of New and Old Tools of Diplomacy in Promoting Russia’s National Interests’.

(Part 1)

Rishabh Sethi talked about the effect western sanctions were having on business. Today non-western countries are seeking for more opportunities to advance cooperation with Russia because no one wants to suffer from the war and economic crisis. India and Russia are strategic partners which is why both countries are supporting each other in such tough times as these, he said.

(Part 2)

The governments of western countries are trying to infect the general public in other countries with Russophobia. Rishabh Sethi said that Russia and India have had a long history of friendship so people-to-people relationships have been unscathed by the brand of Russophobia which western countries have been so vigorously promoting since the beginning of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine.

💬 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:

Kiev and its Western patrons are pursuing their disinformation campaign against our country.

In early April, they tried to accuse Russian military personnel of killing civilians in Bucha. The evidence clearly showed it was a staged performance carried out by Ukrainian and Western intelligence agencies.

But the way, what's up with Bucha? Where are the names and pictures of the people and their life stories?

A week after the incident in Bucha the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit the railway station in Kramatorsk with a Tochka U missile and again accused our country of the air strike.

Even Western journalists, who started correcting their own mistakes and then stopped covering this topic altogether, said it was a lie.

On June 13, 2022, Kiev again tried to accuse Russia of shelling the central part of Donetsk with NATO-made ammunition.

Such cynicism can neither be understood nor qualified.

(excerpt from weekly briefing of 15.06.22)

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova

💬 The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) posted a consolidated list of grain production data for the 2021/2022 season on its website.

The figures provided by experts show that according to the 2021/2022 agricultural year results, the global grain production is expected to reach 2.8 billion tonnes, which is more than in the 2019/2020 season. The grain carryover will amount to a record high of 850 million tonnes (much higher than last year). According to the results of the current agricultural year, the stocks-to-use ratio will amount to 30.5 percent, which is above average as well.

That means there will be more grain in the world.

Now, let's take a look at the trade transaction data. Anticipated grain trade volumes are higher than in the 2019/2020 season at 439.2 million tonnes. Separate data for wheat are available. The physical level of stocks and the volume of trade in this commodity will increase to 192 million tonnes (up by 1.5 percent compared to the previous period). Similar dynamics are anticipated in feed grain and rice production and trade.

Here's why this is important.

Representatives of the West are using every platform, including the UN, to accuse Russia of reducing the amount of grain available on the market through its actions, allegedly throwing a wrench in grain operations which, according to the West, has sent prices for wheat and other grains up.

In reality, though, there’s more grain on the market than in previous years, and trade is up as well.

It turns out that the price (which is growing, indeed) is not growing because of Russia's actions. The cause of that is a separate matter, and experts are coming up with different explanations.

However, general conclusions can be drawn:
1. Systematic errors made by the West when making forecasts for its agricultural policy.
2. Global inflation caused by short-sighted financial and monetary mechanisms that the West used during the pandemic.
3. The ill-conceived transition of Europe and North America to green energy based on the forced introduction of bio fuel technologies.
4. Illegitimate sanctions that have disrupted the established commodity-money chains.

With regard to whether famine is a realistic scenario, experts increasingly foresee a pessimistic outcome. They believe that many nations will be impacted and even more will become destitute.

The Western regimes that instigate and cause destruction should be blamed for that.

🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on incitement to violence in the context of the situation in and around Ukraine (June 21, 2022)

Read in full

💬 The ideology of violence and hatred stands at the core of present-day Ukrainian state policy. This ideology provoked atrocious crimes of the Kiev regime against its own people that became one of the key reasons of today’s crisis in Ukraine.

☝️ The United States and its Western allies were rather interested in this spread of Russophobia-based Ukrainian nationalism, because they perceived it as a good opportunity to sever historical ties of Russia and Ukraine, as prompted by their geopolitical considerations.

❗️ Despite ravaging primitive Russophobia and racism in Ukraine we hold nothing against the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian culture and language. The people of Ukraine is near and friendly to us. It is just that their leaders are pursuing a geopolitical agenda that is alien both to us and to Ukrainians.
