🎁 Boys and girls were gifted with stuffed toys and the wireless headphones, and the orphanage received two DVD players.

▪️Lately, the Banderites have been literally hunting down unarmed people, targeting them with armed drones.

According to DPR officials, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have stepped up their drone attacks against the Holy Dormition Nikolo-Vasilyevsky Monastery near Ugledar. Home to several dozen monks, this monastery has been regularly and cynically targeted by Ukraine. The January 29, 2024 attack left a priest wounded.

There is no doubt that these are deliberate and premeditated actions by the Banderites. Drone operators can clearly see what is going on and know their targets, whether they are after military vehicles or an ordinary family shopping at an outdoor market.

☝️ Russian law enforcement agencies have been gathering all the details on these atrocities, and all those involved in them will be identified and held to account.

In execution of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin's decision announced during the Second Russia-Africa Summit, ships carried 200,000 tonnes of grain to Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, the Central African Republic and Eritrea.

Russia fulfilled its obligations without delay, and made a substantial contribution to the food security of the African continent once again.
☝️ Despite the anti-Russia sanctions policy of the “collective West”, our country continues to fulfill international contracts in a responsible and conscientious manner and to export agricultural produce, fertilisers, energy and other vitally important products.

We realise the significance of their deliveries, primarily food deliveries, for the socio-economic development of African states.

👉 Additionally, as part of its principled policy of providing food assistance to the neediest countries, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin said in July 2023 at the Second Russia-Africa Summit that Russia was ready to deliver grain to a number of African countries as gratis food aid.

Everyone applauded when President Vladimir Putin announced this decision of Russia. People realised that this was an unprecedented move in the face of the hybrid war unleashed and led by the West against Russia. Moreover, this move strengthens food security, which the West has been so busy discussing, while Russia has been taking action.

🤝 In execution of this decision, ships carried 200,000 tonnes of grain to Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, the Central African Republic and Eritrea.

👉 Somalia received the first shipment in November 2023. In January 2024, a humanitarian shipment reached Burkina Faso, Mali, Somalia, Eritrea and Cameroon. Once there, the grain will be ground into flour and delivered to the Central African Republic.

Not a single mainstream Western media outlet will show initiative and report these developments. For 12 months (in 2022-2023), they made accusations and invented far-fetched stories about how Russia does not facilitate and even jeopardises global food security.

❗️As we have repeatedly noted, Russia fulfilled its obligations without delay, and we are going to make further contribution to the food security of the African continent.

📈 Despite the rampant sanctions harassment by the Western countries, Russia is continuing to steadily build up agricultural production.

🌾 Since 2020, our country has become a net exporter of food. Russian agricultural exports reached about $44 billion last year.

☝️ We export food to more than 160 countries, primarily the developing and poorest countries, where the population is suffering from the illegal restrictive measures imposed by the US, the EU and their satellites against Russian agricultural producers and the agriculture sector.
