MARIUPOL: NATO-backed Nazi militants set fire to grain stores in an attempt to blame Russia for global food shortages.
21st Century Wire — June 8, 2022
According to the western establishment narrative being pushed by the mainstream media, United Nations and others, the Ukraine war has stoked a global food crisis, and Russia is to blame. However, upon closer examination, these claims appear to be false.
In the end analysis, the current crisis is most certainly a direct result of a series of deliberate policy decisions made by leading western powers – most notably, sanctions against Russia. The only problem is, no one in the West, or Kiev, is willing to take responsibility for their own role in fomenting the current debacle.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, the Zelensky regime and its desperate Nazi foot soldiers have been busy doing their part to exacerbate the crisis, in the hopes that the western media and politicians continue blaming recent events on Moscow.
RT International reports…
The Russian Defense Ministry has accused Ukrainian “militants of the nationalist battalions” of deliberately setting fire to a large granary in Mariupol’s sea port while fleeing from Russian forces.
According to a statement, issued on Wednesday, the alleged act of arson was down to the unwillingness of the “militants” to leave grain supplies to Mariupol’s residents. As a result, according to the military, more than 50 thousand tons of grain were destroyed.
“This inhuman crime demonstrates to the entire world community the ‘true face’ of the Kiev regime, which, in fact, uses the methods of food terrorism against its own people,” it claimed.
The ministry said the destruction was committed as the “so-called civilized West” continues to support Kiev while accusing Russia of stoking a global food crisis.
The Defense Ministry stressed that Russian forces during their “special military operation” support the civilian population, treat it humanely and “do not strike at the social infrastructure of the country, unlike the Ukrainian armed formations.”
Since the launch of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, Moscow and Kiev have accused each other of various war crimes, while denying their own liability.
The Donetsk People’s Republic authorities reported earlier that the firefighters failed to save the grain stock despite several days of efforts.
“There is a large amount of grain on the territory of the Mariupol port, this is both corn grain and wheat. Judging by the smell and appearance, it is unsuitable for further use, most of it,” an aide to the government of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Yan Gagin, told RIA Novosti.
The global food market, already affected by climate change and the Covid pandemic, has been badly affected by the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, as the two countries account for about 30% of global wheat exports. Russia is also the world’s largest exporter of fertilizers.
While the West has accused Russia of causing a surge in food prices by continuing its military operation, Moscow maintains that the real cause of the food crisis is the “politically motivated” Western sanctions against it.
Ukraine has repeatedly accused Moscow of “stealing” its stockpiles of wheat and sending it overseas. The spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, however, said the United Nations is unable to verify these claims.
Ukraine and Western states have repeatedly accused Moscow of impeding grain exports by blocking Ukraine’s Black Sea ports. Russia has rejected such claims, maintaining it is ready to ensure safe passage for grain-carrying vessels from the ports. The disruption of grain flow stems from Kiev’s own actions and extensive mining of the shoreline by the Ukrainian military, Moscow insists…
Besides all the other obvious things, that pile of ash does not look like the remains of 50,000 tonnes of anything. It’s not even from 5 tonnes.
Israel did a pretty good job of destroying the port and many thousands of tons of grain at the port of Beirut a couple of years ago.
I wonder if the Azovs lobbed a few bombs at the grain silo’s in Mariupol to get the fire started?
I wonder if the Ukrainian farmers who grew it had actually been paid, or were they to receive payment upon delivery?
Perhaps it was domestic grain as the article claims and burnt to keep the people in that part of Ukraine hungry and poor.
Destroying food, it’s only a war crime if they can blame Russia for it.

This is what nazi scum do. They did the same back in the 40’s, decimating Russia’s infrastructure. Remember, nazism, like communism, is a branch of cabbalism … straight out of the Protocols.
Stunningly, the same Wall Street banks that funded the Bolsheviks in the 1920’s and 30’s, **simultaneously** funded the nazis so enable them to build their war machine. The Protocols outline this strategy pretty clearly. The eminent Anthony C. Sutton’s works on the topic are required reading.
Also, beware of shills posting pro-nazi nonsense: it’s a well known strategy of IDF’s Unit 8200 tactics.
Echoes of Nico X’s ‘Holodomor’….. wouldn’t you say?
Sure they did…next the Soviet Commie propaganda will be telling us it was Azov & the Ukrainian military that razed Mariupol & killed over 20,000 civilians there & then blamed it all on the innocent Russian Commies…sort of like how the Commies blamed the Nazis for the Katyn Forest massacre in 1940 yet they really did it..
The link to RT is dead- please, please post a viable link.
I am sick to death of the STUPID anti-British British Intelligence and Establishment and their pathetic, infantile Games.
The media has to quit calling them “Nazi’s”, they bare no resemblance to National Socialist Germany.
@ Guy Reid-Brown
I’m pretty sure RT is blocking all connections from anything not in russia or the open internet (ie. it’s blocking tor, vpns and other known proxies). The russian gov site is the same. Maybe it’s the great russian firewall?
@Stanley X my belief also, they are bolshevics you only have to look at the tactics they use
@ mike d, you make no mention of the millions of russian peasants that fled russia with the retreating
German army, you have a distorted one eyed veiw of those events, no one doubts wall st funded Germany,s war effort its what bankers do, the Germanics were and still are the most advanced culture in Europe, that fact you don,t recognise shows your lack of knowledge regarding their history
Jew-controlled neo-Nazis kill their own soldiers to impose discipline by terror. Burning a silo with grains is piece of cake for them.
Is the author sure there weren’t corpses of women and children in the ashes?
> The media has to quit calling them “Nazi’s”, they bare no resemblance to National Socialist Germany.
There’s no point even trying. It would appear that every human on earth is incapable of being reasoned with. If someone were to tell you they WERE nazis and give you absolute proof of it, even you’d still deny it wouldn’t you? Everyone chooses a side and will never shift from it no matter what. You may as well try to stop them talking about AI or nanomachines or quantum computers or walking on the moon or space stations or an end to human destruction and abuse.
The human race: mostly useless.
forget the zeroes, It could be. I have a small rent that I receive in grain – 3tones and I know very well how much 3 or 5 tones are. With the grain I feed a pig, 25 – 30 turkeys and 20 hens.
The ashes on the pic are too much for 5 tones of grain.
There is no way a bunch of low hairline neo-nazi goons came up with that idea. Step forward MI6.
@ kiwi

@ kiwi,
I have no idea what your second assertion (“the Germanics were and still are the most advanced culture in Europe,”) has anything to do with anything, but it’s complete rubbish and total b.s.
Germans were at the time no more advanced, nor no less, than any other major European power. Ever hear of the grace and elegance of Italian culture? What about the French? Let’s focus just on technical achievements: One can make a very solid and persuasive argument that the whole idea of “superior” German engineering is a bogus and empty myth. For example, at the start of the war with France in 1940, French tanks and airplanes far surpassed their German counterparts in engineering, a fact well acknowledged and established. The same with the Spitfire of the Brits and Mustang of Americans. German planes paled in comparison. Anyway, one can go on, but the point is: sure the Germans had some achievements but no more so than any other European nation. I don’t know where this whole mythology of German technical superiority comes from (apples to apples, an average Toyota or Honda is ten times the average Volkswagon … and on and on).
