According to #UN Data grain from Ukraine has been supplied to 45 countries with #Africa getting just 12% while rich countries of Europe got 40% - If #EU really cares about grain exports from Ukraine, why doesn't it stop the Sanctions? Why doesn't it stop fueling the stupid War..?

@wallacemick Food and fuel have long been used as weapons. The strategy has been to get countries dependent on those imports and then take control of distribution. If those nations don't submit to demands, they starve or freeze and people revolt. Having multiple suppliers is the best mitigation when not self sufficient. EU or any country becomes subservient if the number of suppliers is reduced to one. This may be one of the intended outcomes of this war.
