Russia warns: Kyiv will blow up grain silos in Kharkov

ARK News… Kyiv was accused of sending a group of explosives specialists to the city of Volchansk

The repercussions of recent developments in Ukraine's second-largest city and municipality are still ongoing.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has warned of Kyiv preparing to blow up grain silos in Kharkiv, eastern Ukraine, stressing Ukraine's intention to accuse Russia of causing famine in the country, and fueling hostile propaganda with Western media coverage.

Explosives and sabotage experts
Kyiv was accused of sending a group of explosives specialists to the city of Volchansk in Kharkiv Province to prepare for a sabotage operation there.

It also emphasized the mining of grain silos in the town of Karechny, Kharkiv Province, to detonate them, and pointing fingers at Russia for causing famine in Ukraine, to disrupt the Istanbul grain export deal.

It pointed out that Western media will present the incident as a new atrocity committed by Russian forces.

Significant grain agreement
It is noteworthy that the countries concerned decided last year to extend the grain export agreement, which aims to alleviate global food shortages by facilitating Ukraine's agricultural exports from its southern ports on the Black Sea, for 120 days.

The grain deal reached beginning in July, provides a protected sea lane to alleviate global food shortages by allowing exports to resume from three ports in Ukraine, a major producer of grains and oilseeds.

This came after the decrease in shipments from Ukraine in the wake of the Russian military operation in February played a role in the global food price crisis this year, but there were also other important factors, including the Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing climate shocks such as drought in both Argentina and the United States.

While Ukraine and Russia are major grain exporters in the world, Russia is the largest exporter of wheat in the world and a major exporter of fertilizers to global markets.
