Nsuccess on the battlefield forced the Kremlin to seek more heinous means of mass atrocities. Not surprisingly, the choice fell on the theft of grain and the destruction of the Ukrainian crop. Policies aimed at starving people are neither new nor unacceptable in Moscow. For example, the Ukrainian “Holodomor” from 1932 and 1933, which was exposed by the British journalist Gareth Jones, is well known. Europe’s fear of the militarization of the continent at that time starved millions of Ukrainians to death. And until the results of the Second World War allowed the communists to evade responsibility. Nevertheless, the famine plan is stored not only in the State Archives of the Russian Federation, but also in the minds of the Russian political elite.
So, it should come as no surprise to Ukraine that the Russians are once again using food as a tool for their dangerous geopolitical game. The military administration in the occupied territories temporarily looted the produce of Ukrainian farmers, the Russian Black Sea Fleet blocked Ukrainian ports, and the Russian army continued to destroy granaries with operations in areas near the battle zone.
