Volodin announced the "famine" threatening Ukraine due to debts to the United States

According to the chairman of the State Duma, Washington is looking for ways to export grain from Ukraine in order to “quickly return” the funds provided to it. Volodin is convinced

Washington does not believe in Kyiv's victory and is dragging out military operations in Ukraine, providing it with assistance, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said in his Telegram channel. At the same time, the United States is looking for ways to export from Ukraine the grain that it needs itself - "instead of real help, they take away the most necessary, arranging a surplus appraisal," the deputy noted.

“They are thinking about how to return the money as soon as possible, arranging a famine in Ukraine,” he wrote. Ukraine "is getting more and more loans," and this, according to Volodin, does not improve the well-being of its inhabitants.

Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, the United States has been supplying the country with military, economic and humanitarian aid. On May 9, US President Joe Biden signed a law on lend-lease for Ukraine (during the Second World War, Washington leased or transferred military equipment to the allies on a long-term loan under the lend-lease program for Ukraine). The next day, the House of Representatives of Congress approved a bill for additional assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $40 billion.

Moscow has repeatedly accused Washington of dragging out the conflict in Ukraine by “pumping” it with weapons. After the approval of the multi-billion-dollar support package by the lower house of Congress, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that US assistance is explained not by love for Ukraine and not by the desire to support its own economy, but by the desire to limit Russia's economic development and political influence.

On May 10, Biden announced that the United States, together with its allies, was looking for opportunities to return 20 million tons of Ukrainian grain to the world market in order to achieve a reduction in world prices, which had soared to record levels due to military operations in Ukraine.

According to the US Department of Agriculture, in the 2021/22 season, Ukraine accounted for 10% of global wheat exports (Russia accounted for 16%). Prices for food and fertilizers in the world against the backdrop of the conflict in Ukraine rose in March by 12.6%, to 159.3 p., a record since 1990. Previously, Biden expressed concern about possible food shortages due to events in Ukraine.
