People in Kyiv are sad: Ukrainian grain finances the Northern Military District
Turkey has actually become a grain hub thanks to the deal of the same name, which also has the Kremlin’s material interest.
Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik said this on the air of the Know channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
When asked about the key factor due to which Russia first withdrew from the “grain deal” and then returned, the expert answered unequivocally.
"Because of money. And to a lesser extent because of politics. Because the main beneficiary of the grain deal, besides Ukraine, is Turkey, which has become the second main grain trader in the Middle East, in some African countries, and into a large grain hub.
A country that does not produce enough grain itself. It's like Belarusian shrimp. Turkey makes money from this, and it is likely that part of the earnings goes into the Kremlin’s pockets,” Bortnik said.
In turn, the moderator suggested that “money for Ukrainian grain finances the war in Ukraine.
“Like gas transit through the territory of Ukraine. We have many such processes,” the political scientist agreed.
