Zimbabwe refused from free Russian grain

The president of Zimbabwe refused the free Russian grain offered by the president of the terrorist country.

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa refused Vladimir Putin’s offer to supply the country with free Russian grain, Reuters reports.

“We are grateful. We have no shortage of grain at all. We have food security, it just adds to what we already have,” Mnangagwa told reporters at the Russia-Africa summit.

Earlier, Putin said at the summit that Russia is ready to deliver up to 50,000 tons of grain to Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso, Mali, Somalia, the Central African Republic and Eritrea for free within the next three to four months.

Putin told African leaders that Russia would continue to meet their food needs despite pulling out of the Grains Agreement last week.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres commented on the “generosity” of the Russian dictator and noted that “a handful of donations” will not correct the dramatic impact of the end of the Grain Agreement, which allowed for the safe export of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea.

It is worth noting that Russia offers free aid to African countries at a time when it is targeting Ukrainian ports – so that only the Russian Federation could send food. Presumably, Russia wants to remove Ukraine as its grain competitor, cause an economic crisis and get a platform to present its own conditions to the world.
