"Oct 29 (Reuters) - Russia has suspended participation in a U.N.-brokered deal to export agricultural produce from Ukrainian ports after attacks on ships in Crimea, Russia's defence ministry said on Saturday, dealing a blow to a three-month agreement aimed at easing a global squeeze on grain supplies.Russia said that Ukrainian forces, with the help of drones, attacked ships from the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, the biggest city in Russian-annexed Crimea, in the early hours of Saturday.
"Taking into account... the terrorist act by the Kyiv regime with the participation of British experts against the ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civilian vessels involved in ensuring the security of the 'grain corridor', the Russian side suspends participation in the implementation of agreements on the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports," the ministry said in a statement."
Is Vlad auditioning for a redux of Monty Python's Flying Circus? IIRC, the joy that Vlad had watching missiles. (his) being fired from ships (his) and submarines (his) at Odessa (not his) the day after signing the agreement was quite clear. Happiest he has been since taking up camping in the Don'task. You could have described him as a happy camper. The productivity gains to the Russian car manufacturing have definitely benefited from his vision and leadership. Yada yada, the car maker, hasn't had it's order books this full in years, and the removal of competition, well, just brilliant! The thoughtful efforts to assist Ukraine in getting rid of the fleet impediment to grain shipments means that others don't need to, so Vlad is being assisted in avoiding some war crimes. The Red Teams boats will be giving adventure diving to scuba clubs for years to come, should be a top billing on Agoda and Expedia, good for business.
The logic that gets from interdicting grain by the use of his bath toys, to then getting huffy when said toys get smoked is astounding. Whatever is going on inside that little Dr Evil head of his would be fascinating to unscramble, it doesn't seem to match any rational cognitive functioning.
The "throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks" seems to be a fairly random means by which to administer affairs of state. It works for Trump, but left stains on the wall paper. In Vlad's case, it's making the Moscow river unsanitary.
