50,000 tons to 6 countries vs 3 million for the entire world. This is pure propaganda and will do nothing to address the coming food shortage.
Lol I just noticed that's just a ship load
Just enough to keep up the spin campaign blaming grain shortages on the West, and no more.
To be clear, I think everyone, including the West, should do more to address this problem. But the ultimate cause is clear, and this token gesture does nothing to address the scale of the shortage.
