“The idea that controlling Ukrainian grain can change the world is not new. Both Stalin and Hitler wanted to do it. According to Stalin, Ukraine’s black water would be used to build the industrial economy of the Soviet Union.

A real picture of mass deaths from starvation will be needed by propaganda “- emphasize historians.” When riots related to food shortages and the spread of famine begin, Russian propaganda will blame Ukraine and call for recognition of Russia’s territorial advantages in Ukraine and for the lifting of all sanctions “- he points out.
Timothy Snyder stated that Russia plans to starve the people of Asia and Africa “to win its war in Europe”. “This is a new level of colonialism and the latest chapter in hunger policy,” he added.
