📢 On July 12, 2023, Russia’s MFA published a report on violations of children's rights in intercountry adoption in the US.

For many years now, the sphere of intercountry adoption in the United States has been non-transparent, corrupt, resource intensive and not protected against neocolonial political considerations. The United States has routinely violated the essential rights of the child, and there have been repeated and recorded cases of child abuse. At the same time, Washington has repeatedly refused to join the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The US is the only country that has not ratified that international document. The reason is that if it did, it would have had to put an end to empty talk and machinations and to start honouring the relevant commitments, which Washington is averse to.

❗️Debunking the myths spread by the EU leadership

After the European External Action Service published the book “The Year That War Returned to Europe,” which brings together a collection of blog posts, op-eds and speeches by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, we decided that it would be reasonable to clarify certain aspects of global food insecurity.

In particular, to recall that:

• The food security problem was provoked long before the Ukrainian crisis by the unwise financial and economic policy of the West and further aggravated by the EU sanctions against Russia and Belarus.

• Explaining that restrictions are mandatory only for EU economic operators, the Brussels is silent about the share of European participation in sea cargo transportation and insurance (four of the world’s top five maritime shipping leaders are European companies).

• Initiated by Brussels, the projects to export agricultural products from Ukraine, including through EU’s so-called solidarity corridors, proved to be a humanitarian sham.

👉 For the EU, food security is a subset of geopolitics. The poorest countries are actually being held hostage to the EU’s political ambitions. For the EU, food security problems are a side effect of anti-Russia policies and Western attempts to protect its self-serving “rules-based order.”

❗️Debunking the myths spread by the EU leadership

Myths:

❌ The war against Ukraine has been sending shockwaves around the globe. By attacking one of the world’s major exporters of grain, especially to Africa, Russia has triggered a sharp rise in food prices globally.

❌ We have always been clear that our sanctions do not target the trade in agricultural products, including grain and fertiliser, between Russia and third countries.

❌ The European Union organised ‘solidarity lanes’ to evacuate Ukrainian grain by land… so that food prices could be brought down.

Facts:

✅ The “shockwaves” were sent long before the Ukrainian crisis by the unwise financial and economic policy of the West and its ill-considered decision to accelerate the transition to a “green economy” so soon after the pandemic.

The exaggerated potential of Ukraine’s agricultural sector mislead the international community. Russia alone accounts for 20% of the global wheat market, while Ukraine’s share is below 5%.

✅ EU sanctions aggravated the situation, because the blocking of Russian and Belarusian exports had an immediate and lasting shock effect on the global food and fertiliser market.

Russia is the world’s largest producer of nitrogen fertilisers and second largest producer of phosphate fertilisers. Russia and Belarus together account for nearly 25% of the mineral nutrients market.

✅ The projects to export agricultural products from Ukraine, including through EU’s so-called solidarity corridors, proved to be a humanitarian sham. Fodder corn, not wheat, became the main export in this scheme. It is the EU that needs this commodity more than others, and became the main recipient of these shipments.

⚡️ Debunking the myths spread by the EU leadership

Myth:

From blog posts, op-eds and speeches by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell (April7, 2022): Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine provoked massive hikes in food prices and created the risk of food shortages worldwide. We had to act to protect the people most affected. In March, the European Commission launched a plan to help fight global food insecurity.

Fact:

💬 The EU immediately introduced the bulk of its unilateral illegal restrictions on the Russian agro-industrial sector in February-April 2022.

Restrictions are clearly aimed at undermining the production capacity of the Russian fertiliser industry.

Indiscriminate financial restrictions like blocking sanctions for many major Russian banks and their disconnection from the SWIFT system of transferring financial information have affected trade transactions on all types of agricultural products and fertilisers. Cross-border payments became seriously complicated.

❗️ Despite the persisting risks to global food security, the European Union did not really ease the sanctions regime for exports of Russian agricultural products and fertilisers. Moreover, it deliberately continues taking actions that promise to further worsen the situation:

• it is threatening third countries with the prospect of “secondary sanctions” for bypassing restrictions and vowing criminal prosecution of economic operators for failure to observe the sanctions regime;

• it also continues creating more obstacles for the export of our agricultural products.

The bulk of the EC plan for “Safeguarding food security and reinforcing the resilience of food systems” of March 23, 2022, mentioned by Josep Borrell is devoted to protecting the EU domestic market.

☝️ This is easy to understand – the EU “gardeners” are looking at global food security only through the prism of ensuring their own security and their own wellbeing.

🇷🇺 Happy National Flag Day!

💬 President Putin: “Russia is a one thousand year old country and civilization. Our national flag is a symbol of our unity. I believe that the national flag will always inspire us to move forward, to victory, and to assert the glory of Russia.”

💬 Maria Zakharova: On August 20, 2022, the life of a journalist Darya Dugina was tragically cut short. The murder was organised by Ukrainian special services.

We have not heard a single word from relevant organisations about this deliberate atrocity.
