How Russia uses the grain exports problem to manipulate the global public - Propaganda diary #8

March 24, 2023

Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its occupation of large parts of Ukraine's Black Sea littoral zone caused serious problems for the exports of Ukrainian food worldwide. Although a "grain deal" was signed, it remains fragile, with Russia threatening to end it and blaming Ukraine for causing a food security crisis.

Volodymyr Yermolenko, UkraineWorld's chief editor, speaks to UkraineWorld analyst Alona Hryshko.
