  • The #Dnieper (#Dnipro) River is the 4th longest river of the European continent and an incredibly important shipping lane for Ukraine's economy. While the river starts of in Russia and spends the first 1000 kilometers in Russia and Belarus, it only becomes a truly great river once crossing the border to #Ukraine. Thousands of tributaries feed into the Dnieper River, draining an area the size of Ukraine itself, before it is led into the Black Sea. The Ukrainian part of the Dnieper River is characterized by large reservoirs originating from several hydropower stations which have been built along its course. Despite this, a series of dams and locks allow ship and barge traffic all the way up to the Russian territory, and through the Dnieper-Bug canal, even to the Baltic Sea.

    Interesting video. The African nations are indeed fortunate to have access to the Russian agricultural market which is replacing the Ukrainian supplied food commodities. Indeed none of the dire warnings of food shortages from the start of the SMO has come to pass. A lot of the first grain ships from Ukraine after the agreement in Istanbul went not to the poorer African nations but primarily as animal feed to European countries like Spain, the Netherlands and Ireland. The route for grain through Eastern Europe has been blocked by protesting Polish farmers whose income is adversely affected by large amounts of discounted grain from Ukraine. A final point would be the extent of GMO frankenstein grain because of the purchase of huge tracts of farmland by Vulture Funds from the United States of America but Ukraine has denied the presence of Genetically Modified US grain seed.

    90% OF UA Grain exports go to EU and other Developed Nations like Japan are majoritly used as animal feed. Only Eqypt uses significant UA Grain exports in Africa.
    Whereas Russia ships Wheat Free of Charge to and at huge discount to many developing nations.

    The «horrors caused by Russia» were more the result of the NATO-supported genocide by the Nazi-troops on the payroll of the Kiev-regime of the Russian majority population in the historic Russian regions. Those regions were annexed by the Ukrainian state at the declaration of independence. The third world did not suffer anything from the grain situation. Russia compensated for the loss of the Ukrainian supply, gifting large quantities of cereals to the poorest of countries.

    Brothers and Sisters, God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ for us to save us from our sins, and he bled and died on a cross for us to redeem us from death, and to gain life everlasting, for those who put their trust in him. And what's more, he has risen, and is willing to call you to repentance (correction) and as his witness, by his grace indeed. "For it is by grace you are saved, through faith". Jesus loves you, God cares for you! Therefore, repent and believe the gospel.
