Topic: Food security in the world has been shaken by Russia's actions - page 2. (Read 2745 times)

There is a big difference in the tactics and strategy of these actions between the offensive of the Russian invaders and the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and this explains the difference in the number of losses. The Russian offensive on a specific sector of the front is often dictated by political necessity and is carried out despite any losses in soldiers and military equipment. This happened in the battle for Bakhmut, and later for Avdeevka. If the equipment could not be used due to bad weather conditions, then soldiers were periodically sent into attacks without the necessary preparation and cover in order to capture a populated area by a certain date. Therefore, the losses were colossal. Due to such large losses, new units were transferred that did not know the terrain and fortifications of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and often columns of equipment with troops walked through minefields. Despite the losses, they moved forward to carry out meaningless orders. Unlike the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where junior commanders had the right to quickly make decisions in a changed situation, the Russian troops still have the old Soviet military doctrine, according to which execution of orders is above all, even if the order is stupid in the current situation.

When the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces began last summer, armored vehicles were used, which began to be destroyed in minefields, and the infantry also suffered. Almost immediately, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine changed its tactics: frontal assaults stopped and predominantly targeted knocking out of armored vehicles, artillery, ammunition depots, command posts and accumulations of manpower and equipment began, while simultaneously clearing minefields in the dark and maneuvering small assault groups. This did not give a quick effect in liberating the territories, but it allowed to inflict heavy losses on the Russian army and saved the lives of many soldiers. At the same time, even Western analysts reported that during the counter-offensive the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost even fewer of their soldiers than the defending Russians.

As for Avdeevka, individual assault groups entered it and will enter it more than once and leave this territory after completing certain tasks.
Thus, today fresh information has appeared that in the area of the Avdeevsky coke and chemical plant, soldiers of the 3rd Special Brigade stole a Russian T-72 tank under the noses of the Russians and, under fire from a KA-52 helicopter, successfully evacuated it to the location of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

President Zelensky announced recently that AFU losses have reached 31k. So, according to your statement above you believe that it's actually so? 

You know that unlike you, Ukrainian trolls, I always present proof with valid sources. But in this case, I've noted earlier your claim that Russia lost more than a million troops in Ukraine. So, colonel Bozo, please provide a valid source for that claim or admit that you're a lying troll and you made it up. I will immediately provide my sources then. 

And a question to you: why would you think AFU generals mentioned that they need to recruit 500k Ukrainians ASAP. Just think about it. Also, Ukraine mentioned earlier that Russia suffered huge losses because it attacked. They claimed that the attacking army losses were at a 1:5 ratio to the defending one. Now think about the failed counter-offensive. If we apply the same logic, Ukraine was suffering 5:1 losses while attacking heavily fortified Russian positions? Right?


Well this is a blatant lie, made up to prevent panic and chaos among Ukrainians.

If you take a look at the map, you'll realize that these small towns are some 6-10km away from Avdiivka, which means that there can't be any counter-offensive in Avdiivka. Always check your facts before you publish your lies.

I present official statistics from my country, which I generally trust. I shouldn’t refer to information from Russian propaganda, which is generally far from reality. But in your messages I don’t see any links at all to the source of the information you specified. For example, where did you get the information that Ukraine lost 500,000 of its troops killed or seriously wounded?

Even if we do not take into account information about losses from the Ukrainian leadership, during 2023 Ukrainian losses were repeatedly mentioned in the Western media. Thus, citing leaks of American intelligence documents, the Reuters news agency in May 2023 wrote about 15.5 - 17.5 thousand dead and 109-113 thousand wounded Ukrainians. In August, The New York Times estimated the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at around 70 thousand killed and 100-120 thousand wounded, and in October Time magazine already wrote about 100 thousand dead. At the same time, the losses of the Russian military, according to officials, were approximately twice as large.

The New York Times recently cited a figure of 500,000 killed and wounded, citing unnamed US administration officials.
But this was the number of casualties on both sides of the war in Ukraine in the year and a half since the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Are the Ukrainian Armed Forces fleeing near Avdeevka? Yes, recently three assault groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces again ran into Avdeevka itself and captured several Russians.
https://m.gazeta.ua/ru/articles/life/_v-avdeevku-voshli-ukrainskie-vojska-i-zahvatili-plennyh/1173648

The situation there is developing very dynamically, since the occupiers sometimes destroy fortifications with heavy guided bombs and there is no point in holding them. But in general, the situation there has stabilized and the Russians are again stuck in the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces behind Avdievka and cannot advance further.

You are clueless, my dear colonel. You are only using Ukrainian media as a source. I think you will be surprised soon.  

Meanwhile, in the real world (not the Ukrainian propaganda outlets) things are looking grim for Ukraine. Technically, they have lost the war already, they just don't realize it yet. Ukraine is simply running out of soldiers due to heavy losses they suffered, first in Mariupol, later at Bakhmut and recently in Avdiivka. Not less than 500.000 troops have been killed or severely injured. AFU are running scared, there's simply no any more defence lines left. Ukraine keeps losing 2-3 small towns EVERY SINGLE DAY after the loss of Avdiivka.

So, maybe it's time to join the glorious AFU, colonel? You can join AFU as a volunteer. You need to protect your Motherland isn't that so?  

The Russians turned the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Avdeevka into a pile of small stones with the help of guided bombs weighing up to a ton or more continuously dropped from SU-34 fighter-bombers. Therefore, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were forced to retreat to the next defensive positions behind this settlement. At the same time, a few more “victories” like those at Avdeevka and the Russians will have nothing to fight with. This is especially true for tanks and armored vehicles. Only near Avdeevka, Muscovites lost more of their soldiers than the USSR during ten years of war in Afghanistan

The Russian Z-blogger Lev Vershinin publicly stated about the losses near Avdeevka. In particular, he published a letter from the wives of deceased Russian soldiers, which talks about the number of victims. For example, in regiment No. 1015, out of 2,300 people, only 30 remained. And such losses are not only in this regiment.

But the situation in this sector of the front has stabilized after 15 Russian aircraft were shot down since February 17, that is, over the last two weeks: 12 SU-34 fighter-bombers, two SU-35 fighters and one airborne early warning and control aircraft A -50. Since yesterday evening, not a single Russian military aircraft has appeared on the eastern front.

And regarding the panicked flight of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the village of Rabotino, then from February 17, when you wrote this post, the Armed Forces of Ukraine could have already retreated to Kyiv, if this had been the case in reality. But Rabotino is still under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Russians continue to die there en masse due to their continuous assaults.

By the way, today in a morning report to the Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev, representatives of the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the irretrievable losses of personnel of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine amounted to 413,173 people. This was reported by the Russian public page “Kremlin Snuffbox”. Here we must also add 76,192 deaths from PMCs. Together this amounts to 489,365 people.

And most occupiers don’t even know why the  are giving their lives. A wild horde has broken into another country and is trying to kill everyone.

The Russians are massively robbing Ukraine, including agricultural products, as well as tractors, combines and everything that can be taken out and stolen. Perhaps the nation is so thieving.

Russia even faces problems in selling stolen grain, and therefore tries to pass it off as its own. Most countries refuse to buy grain if there is evidence of its origin from Crimea. However, according to media reports, the stolen grain ended up in Turkey and Syria. It could also have reached Africa.

The Ukrainian Grain Association estimates that in 2022 alone, Russians stole about 4 million tons of grain from Ukraine. You can read how they steal here.

How they sometimes bring out evidence of this here.
https://www.bbc.com/russian/features-61954274

  Putin no longer hides the fact that he is stealing Ukrainian grain, and offers to “exchange” it for the lifting of sanctions from the Russian Federation.
https://www.unian.net/economics/agro/voyna-2022-putin-ne-skryvaet-chto-voruet-ukrainskoe-zerno-predlagaet-obmenyat-ego-na-snyatie-sankciy-novosti-11909766.html? utm_source=unian&utm_medium=read_more_news&utm_campaign=read_more_news_in_post

As a result of the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine lost the ability to grow grains and oilseeds on an area of about 6 million hectares due to occupation and mine contamination.
However, despite this, in the territories of Ukraine temporarily occupied by Russian troops in 2023, about 6.4 million tons of wheat and almost 1.5 million tons of sunflower were harvested. Bloomberg reports this with reference to NASA. But in 2023, about 7% of Ukraine's agricultural land was abandoned, mostly along the front line.
https://agroportal.ua/ru/news/ukraina/u-nasa-porahuvali-skilki-zerna-rosiya-cogorich-vkrala-v-ukrajini

if you have a brain and are not afraid of the truth - you will find it yourself very easily:

"During the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, attacks on agricultural infrastructure, seizure of farms and theft of grain and other produce became systemic. Farmers who remained in the occupied territories were forced to sell their crops at undervalued prices in order to keep their farms. Bloomberg estimates that 4.04 million tons of grain and sunflower seeds worth $1.9 billion were stolen from the 2021 harvest.

Ukrainian grain is smuggled through Crimea to Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia, etc. Journalists have tracked dozens of ships involved in the illegal export of grain. To hide the source of the cargo, Russia resorts to "laundering" the grain: loading is done at sea without entering the port, Ukrainian grain is mixed with cargo from other sources, dry cargo ships turn off their transponders to hide their movements"

And about what was destroyed, burned and crushed by the caterpillars of Rashist tanks - you are right. You've spoken out of the blue! Aren't you afraid that your relatives or neighbors will denounce you?


PS And the question is - can you tell me why, while the Rashist fleet was operating in the Black Sea, Russia was screaming in all outlets about “starving countries”, and when Russia received a powerful kick, and a significant part of its Black Sea Fleet became a submarine fleet, it immediately shut up and stopped put forward demands for “organizing humanitarian cargo with grain”? Just come up with a not very funny fairy tale, please 

And the source of this info? Russia has occupied ~20% of the territory of Ukraine but I really don't think that any grain can be grown there. Most of the land was ruined by the war: mines planted, destroyed by shells and tracks of heavy armored vehicles. It's also unsafe to do any farming there. So I think you're lying again. Not surprised.

As it turned out, agricultural subsidies in Russia amount to more than 0.5 trillion rubles in 2022. At the same time, the quality of products is declining, and margins are decreasing. And what has grown ? And degradation of fertile land has increased - it has increased dramatically, due to the use of extremely aggressive fertilizers and their deliberate overdose. And it can become a "vicious" circle with increasing level of problems - more harsh fertilizers => more land degradation => lower yield => higher dosage of fertilizers => .....

PS by the way, the so-called "growth of wheat production in Russia", which Russia sells to foreign markets, is caused by... stealing grain in Ukraine, and growing grain on stolen (temporarily occupied) Ukrainian land, using the same inadequate methods used in Russia.

This only relates to countries directly dependent upon Russia's export, which mind you is not a lot of countries to begin with.

And while yes it could affect them drastically, we have better exporters in the form of Thailand and South Korea for the Asian Continent and Perhaps the temperate agricultural countries like Brazil and Portugal (correct me if I'm wrong) for the western hemisphere, so it's not like the countries who were just outed because of this selfish tactic's out of options. It's pretty much the same thing as what happened with Ukraine and Russia, the latter wishes to annex it once again just like back in the Soviet Union days to make use of their resources and increase power against the opposition that's brewing against other countries.

In any case, we'll see how this pans out in the long run. I'm thinking countries affected by the grain agreement will eventually find a way to circumvent the issues that they will face from this which would effectively hurt Russia's economy even more considering that's one more country out of their alliances/payroll. Oh well.

And as usual you are habitually lying and making up "facts" ? I will once again dunk you in your lies, it has always been easy - as the truth always wins

Caesar Kunikov: The ship was built at the shipyard in Gdansk (factory number 775/24), launched in 1986. Joined the 197th Landing Ship Brigade of the 39th Marine Landing Force Division based at Novoozernoye, Donuzlav in 1991.

Armament
Artillery 2 × 2 × 57-mm AK-725s
Missile armament 2 × 20 × 122-mm Grad-M MLRSs
MANPADS "Strela-2"

This is a typical "transporter", isn't it ?  

After the destruction of the Russian large landing ship Caesar Kunikov in the Black Sea, only five of the 13 ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet remain "in service".
I think you can easily calculate the forecast, taking into account the degradation of the terrorist army of the Russian Federation, and the increase in the production of marine drones by the AFU, which the "second army of the world" still cannot resist  

Warship? C'mon, colonel! You mean a military transport built 40+ years ago in Soviet times?   And btw, AFU already reported that this ship was destroyed! How many time they have to destroy old Russian transports? 3? 4?  

Btw, Russian warships (real warships like rocket cruisers etc.) are not hiding anywhere - they continue to take part in regular missile strikes in the Black Sea launching rockets aiming military targets all across Ukraine. These strikes happen regularly 1-2 times a month, sometimes even more frequently.

Anyway, while you were jerking off to a glorious victory over an ancient cargo ship, the Russians have captured Avdiivka, a heavily fortified town near Donetsk which was held by AFU since 2014. Tons of dead and injured Ukrainian troops, hundreds have surrendered. Next line of defense? Sloviansk/Kramatorsk which are located 100+ km away!    

News from the South: Russians have attacked Rabotyne, AFU are running in panic. Are Russians going to attack and recapture Kherson?

Another warship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet sank. At dawn on February 14, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the large Russian landing ship Caesar Kunikov with five Magura V5 naval drones. The ship, which was carrying ammunition, received critical damage to its port side, after which it listed and sank near Alupka, a few kilometers from the coast of the occupied Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea. According to Ukrainian intelligence, most of the crew members were killed.

The successful attack on the ship "Caesar Kunikov" was made possible thanks to the coordinated and refined "pack tactics". And the occupiers countered this only with sailors with machine guns.

The first naval drone aimed at the ship in the bow. There is a bow ramp - a vulnerable spot. Therefore, the first hole appeared in the main hold. The second drone attacked the compartment with the power plant from the left side, that is, the last third of the hull. And the third hit the same spot, only increasing the defeat.

Experts also emphasize that there were two 57-mm twin AK-725 automatic cannons on board the Caesar Kunikov. But in the video you can’t hear their work, but only the occupiers are visible, running chaotically and trying to hit the drones with machine guns.

Since the beginning of a full-scale war, Ukraine has already eliminated four Russian large landing craft. Russia still has five of them in service, and four more are under repair. At this rate, by the end of the year, the Russian Black Sea Fleet may cease to exist. Ukraine is successfully addressing issues of global shipping safety in the Black Sea.

Ukraine has reached pre-war levels of agricultural sales from its Black Sea ports thanks to the successful destruction of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which previously blocked Ukraine's international trade.

Thus, on February 1, 2024, naval drones of the Group 13 unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine destroyed the Russian missile boat Ivanovets in the Black Sea near a protected naval base on Lake Donuzlav in temporarily occupied Crimea.

The Project 12411 missile boat, with a displacement of 493 tons, with a crew of 40 people, is armed with supersonic anti-ship missiles "Moskit" P-270 with a range of 130 km, artillery of various calibers and an anti-aircraft missile system "Igla" or "Strela" has a length of 56 meters and a width of 10 meters and is designed to destroy enemy surface combat ships, landing and transport vehicles and ships at sea, bases, naval groups and their cover, as well as to cover their ships and vessels from surface and air threats.

Judging by the video, a group of at least five naval drones of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense attacked the missile boat one after another between 03:00-04:00 hours, apparently carrying out combat patrols and defense of the base. It should be noted that Russian intelligence did not notice the approach of the drones. The crew of the missile boat, judging by the video, noticed the approach of the drones visually only before the attack. The boat was on the move at the time of the attack and could maneuver. The missile boat can reach speeds of over 30 knots and simply get away from the drones. But “Ivanovets” did not have time to pick up speed.

The bow 76-mm anti-aircraft artillery mount AK-176, apparently, was in the stowed position, that is, it did not turn on and did not open fire. It is also not noticeable that the Russians had time to bring into battle two 30-mm AK-630 anti-aircraft artillery mounts, which are capable of delivering dense fire at moving targets at close ranges. But, obviously, machine gun fire was opened on the drones at close range by the duty watch. However, due to the small size, speed and maneuverability of the drones, the Russians were unable to hit them.

The well-chosen attack tactics of the Group 13 commanders is admirable - the first drone hit the stern of the boat from the starboard side in order to disable the propellers. The boat was unable to reach full speed, but did not stop. Then the second drone also hit the propellers, but from the left side. With these two blows, the boat was reliably deprived of movement and maneuver. After which the ship was successfully finished off. The third drone struck the middle of the hull under the Mosquito missile launchers and caused a large hole in the port side. But the results of the hit are visible from the camera of the fourth drone, which the operator directed directly into the crater from the third drone in the same place. The explosion from the fourth drone was fatal for the ship. As a result of the impact, four Mosquito missiles detonated, each with a total mass of four tons. After about 40 more minutes, the Russian ship sank and sank.

This is a fairly significant loss for the Russian Black Sea Fleet, given the presence of only three such Project 1241.1 boats in its composition.

That's it, let's split up
As it turned out - if Russia is given a kick in the pants and not to give it the opportunity to engage in international terrorism - there will be no problems with food !

The recipe for solving the problem of food security is very simple - destroy international terrorists and carriers of this ideology, do not fall for their pathetic false squeals, and there will be no problems !

In the story of the crash of the Russian Il-76 military transport aircraft in the Korochansky district of the Belgorod region on Wednesday, January 24, there are still more questions than answers. The Russian Federation stated that there were 65 captured Ukrainian military personnel on board the plane, who were transported to the Belgorod region for exchange for Russian prisoners of war in Ukraine. But there are many inconsistencies in this story.

1. According to information from the Russian Ministry of Defense, there were also six crew members and three accompanying persons on board; the crew and all passengers of the plane were killed. The Baza Telegram channel published the names of three escorts who allegedly accompanied Ukrainian prisoners of war on the Il-76 plane: warrant officer I. Gavrish, corporals I. Shashkov and N. Kulikov. Such a small number of guards is puzzling; former prisoners of war say that the Russians are so afraid of even Ukrainians who are exhausted in captivity that they usually assign about 20 guards for every 50 guys. Therefore, information about three escorts for 65 prisoners looks like an ordinary fantasy.

2. It is interesting that the incident with the plane was preceded by an alarm in Belgorod, during which citizens were ordered to move away from the windows. Allegedly, Russian air defense at that time was trying to shoot down flying Ukrainian drones. Therefore, the IL-76 could well have shot down its own air defense, which the launched missile could have switched to.

3. After the announcement of the crash of the Il-76, everyone they could was brought to the crash site, then suddenly only the structures of the Ministry of Defense and the security bloc were ordered to remain. Even the rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations were kicked out. The crash site was surrounded within a radius of several kilometers so that no one could approach. One eyewitness said that large objects were thrown from the side before the fall. It could be cargo or securities.

4. The BBC showed a video of the wreckage of a Russian Il-76 to military experts: in their opinion, the damage most likely indicates that the plane was shot down by an anti-aircraft missile.

5. If there really were prisoners of war on board the plane, a large number of human bodies would have been found in the area. After the tragedy in Olenivka, when Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed, terrible footage of killed Ukrainians immediately appeared online. In this situation, not a single photo or video of the dead was shown. Along with the crew, there are 74 people on board, but not a single body on the field. In turn, it was known that the cargo on board the plane were anti-aircraft guided missiles for the S-300 air defense system. This version is confirmed by the fact that nothing remained of the plane after the fall, and parts of its fuselage were scattered across the field. After the fall and impact with the ground, there was also a powerful detonation of the ammunition.

6. Trying to convince everyone that there were Ukrainian prisoners of war on board who were just being transported to the Ukrainian border, the Russians forgot that aircraft flights are recorded by Flightradar. According to him, the plane was moving from Belgorod to the north of the city, but not towards the border with Ukraine. To be more precise, it was established that the Il-76 followed the course "Belgorod - Okolets", that is, it moved away from the border of Ukraine, and did not approach it. Even local publics already admit this, and eyewitnesses also say this.

7. Russian propagandist Margarita Simonyan hastily published a list of supposedly dead Ukrainian prisoners of war. However, it turned out that at least 18 men from this list had already been exchanged - back in early January. For example, number twenty-two on the list was Maxim Konovalenko, who was allegedly on the downed plane, but he returned home on January 4.

8. Russia, during a meeting of the UN Security Council, was unable to prove the correctness of its version of events regarding the downing of Il-76. Therefore, the UN said it could not establish exactly who was on board the Russian Il-76 military aircraft because Russia had not provided enough evidence. It is interesting that Ukraine insists on an investigation into this incident by an international group, but Russia is against such an investigation. Typically, such behavior by Russia should be regarded as an admission of guilt. It is too early to put an end to this incident. Surely other facts will appear that will indicate what the cargo was actually in the downed Russian IL-76.

Oh, you're still here? Why is that? You have to fight for your Motherland in Donbas! For such a great patriot like yourself, it's your #1 duty! Too afraid?

Oh, the USSR started the WW2? Mmmkay... your should check your mental health ASAP.  What is the next BS you're saying? Hitler was a good guy in fact? 

Oh, I'm glad you mentioned that IL67 plane. For those who are not aware, it's the story of the glorious AFU downing the plane carrying UKRAINIAN prisoners of war! 
Your military are really good at recycling your own citizens and troops. You'ŗe doing it at record rate! Should receive some award or medal from Putin for that! 

Your link to the "source" doesn't work (as always) so I presume just another "facts" you saw in your dream? 

Countries like Ukraine will continue to feed the world with agricultural products, as it has the largest reserves of black soil in the world. Chernozem occupies 44% of the territory of this country. Ukraine, which occupies 0.4% of the earth's landmass, contains about 27% of the world's black soil reserves. Translated into hectares of area, chernozems cover an area of 60.4 million hectares, of which almost 42 million hectares (about 69%) are farmland. Moreover, 78% of farmland is arable land.
Experts say that Ukraine can provide adequate nutrition to approximately 500 million people. This is largely facilitated by climatic conditions: fairly mild winters (average temperatures in different regions range from -4°C to -12°C), moderately warm summers (from +18°C to +25°C) and about 230 sunny days. days a year create almost ideal conditions for growing all major crops.

No matter how hard other states try to significantly increase agricultural productivity, if their land is not fertile enough, they will not succeed.
One of the reasons for Russia's current attack on Ukraine is the seizure of its black soil.

Russians baseless attack on Ukraine did in fact disrupt the flow of food supply in the world. Ukraine is said to be the breadbasket of Europe. If you had done a little research, it would be clear to you in just a few clicks, just how grains from Ukraine feeds the world.
It’s literally suicide if a country solely depends on another country for food but it hasn’t stopped a good number of countries from largely relying on other countries like Ukraine for a good portion of their food supply.

Africa would seem sufficient in agricultural produce but it still imports a shit load of agricultural products as well with Ukraine being a good supplier of wheats and grains.

This is only going to get worse.
It started being the result of NATO weapons storages getting empty and their manufacturers not being able to meet the demand then it got worse as the weapons that were supposed to be sent to Ukraine for defense were sent to the Zionist regime to be used for genocide.
In the near future if the speculation about what the Coalition of Terror (US+UK+some microscopic countries) is about to do comes true (in short it has to do with Yemen) things would become a hundred times worse for Ukraine! Dare I say a complete occupation by the end of 2024?

P.S. It's not just weapons, it is troops (NATO commanders leading the Armed Forces of Ukraine + militia including ISIS terrorists that are efficient in fighting inside city ruins + mercenaries etc.), logistical support, intelligence support, other supplies, etc. it's all being pulled out of Ukraine heading to West Asia...
