Egypt will switch to sourcing almost half a million tons of wheat from France and Bulgaria, after Moscow blocked the supply of Russian grain, according to people familiar with the matter.
They’ve never stopped exporting. Early in the war it was leaving by train only. Later under the “deal” Russia allowed grain transport via the Black Sea to continue until Russia decided they wanted to hold Ukrainian grain shipments hostage so Russia could get some sanctions lifted. That didn’t work so now Russia is blowing up Ukrainian grain terminals in an effort to prevent Ukrainian grain from reaching the world’s dinner plates.
I like the switch, but switching to Ukrainian grain would have been even better thumb in Russia’s eye.
Thats a nice idea, but what with it being a literal warzone Egypt’s gonna have to make a backup plan.
Is Ukraine exporting wheat during the war?

War is just one dick move after another.
Russia is just one dick move after another.
Yeah - mostly through Poland since Russia is blocking the ports - that’s why Poland is throwing such a tantrum right now
They just recently opened up a corridor and shipped out their first wheat of the season
