Hungry games of Russian propagandists. As the Russians are fed lies about famine in Ukraine in the Armed Forces

"Russia is actively using a fake about allegedly famine in Ukraine. However, the true consumer of this beacon is the Russians themselves, whom propagandists are trying to convince that Ukraine will stop defending themselves. " Opinion. We. In mid -October, we from Ukraine by Russian social networks passed the next wave of fakes about "famine in Ukraine". The middle of autumn is the time of summing up summer field companies, so the time of the appearance of this wave of fakes is not accidental.

To the myths that Ukraine will freeze without Russian gas, sinks in the dark due to the powerful rockets of a power plant broken by Russian rockets, and now talk about "famine". Yes, Voenor Medvedev, Telegram-Channel offers a roller to his readers allegedly from a supermarket in Kiev, where a huge turn of people is waiting for the opportunity to buy at least one package with sugar. People in the roller aggressively push each other and demonstrate their malice.

In fact, this video for five years, and it has been made in the supermarket of the Russian city of Omsk, where local retail offered sugar at special promotional prices, which were lined up in the aggressive turn of the local pensioners. The key theses with which Russian propaganda works in this direction, here is the following list: "empty shelves of shops", "product deficit", "Hunger", "Hungry Ukrainian retirees" and some others.

This list guesses the attempt of Russian propaganda strategists to play a few narratives at once. The first is an appeal for the sacred for Ukrainian society of the history of the Holodomor of 1932-1933. The second is the flirting for feelings about the reality of the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the product deficit was a key economic problem, and the memory of it is quite alive.

The third is attempts to take the ideological turnover of the fate of Ukrainian pensioners, who have always been advised by Russian political technologists. Of course, everything is not at all as the fake of Russian propaganda.

The Ukrainian government fulfills all its obligations to the pensioners in time, and the Minister of Finance Sergey Marchenko is currently in Washington, where he agreed on a new, expanded credit program from the International Monetary Fund, so that during the implementation of the State Budget for 2023, Ukrainian retirees were financially protected. And food will be enough for food.

Thus, according to the APK-Inform analytical agency, grain yields can be up to 56 million tonnes this year, which is enough not only to cover the needs of the domestic market (20 million tonnes), but also for export sales for global markets, although exports In the pre -war years it reached 50 million tons. A similar situation was formed in the market of meat products.

According to statistics published by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, the consumption of meat products in 2022 remains quite sufficient - 52 kg of meat per year. The Ministry regulates export directions on meat positions with the sight that the internal consumption fund is provided by manufacturers at 2 million tonnes per year, from which half is chicken, 37% is pork, and 13% are beef.

And even this allows meat products manufacturers to conduct export activities, which, although inferior to last year, remains significant. According to the Landlord Agrarian News, the potato market was present in the spring, which contains an inflationary trend in the potato segment. This situation arose because of the previous potato harvest in the Ukrainian fields, to which the potatoes are also added.

Now, retail successfully import the necessary volumes of vegetables, the crop of which is not received due to the Russian occupation of southern Ukraine (-36% in the potato segment, -68% in the tomato segment, -45% in the cucumber segment). In addition, in large cities, local farmers directly provide the supply of vegetables and dairy products to end buyers, which takes place in the format of street bazaars, street fairs and facilities.

The Ministry of Infrastructure worked on the fact that the logistics corridors of Ukraine - Poland, Ukraine - Hungary, Ukraine - Slovakia and Ukraine - Romania worked effectively and without delay. This gives the belief that the required amount of food will be imported if necessary, although there is no urgent need for such import.

Russia and its propaganda machine want to show now that no one is recognized by the annexation of four Ukrainian regions - it is not only geography, but also a food economy. Ukraine is now, as Rospropaganda says, in the disadvantages of the vegetable group, but Russia is in the advantages. Indeed, in the summer, the Russian army was engaged in the expropriation of vegetables in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions for the supply of these products to the domestic Russian market.

Increasingly, breaking up with the global market and trying to build a self -sufficient economy, the Kremlin seeks to strengthen the position of its own agricultural market, because Moscow realizes that in the event of a food crisis in Russia, it will be extremely difficult to import food in the required volumes. Finally, the Russian narrative that "give four areas - and end the war", also popular in the environment of Russian society, which is tired of "special military operation".

Therefore, using an argument about the alleged "famine" in Ukraine, Russians are trying to convince each other that Ukraine will stop defending themselves, and the Armed Forces will suspend a counter-offensive in the southern and eastern operating areas. But Ukraine is felt in full food safety thanks to international support - both financial and trade. No food problems will be able to stop the Armed Forces in the fulfillment of missions to liberate Ukrainian territories occupied by Russians.

The nutrition of the Armed Forces itself is built around a balanced diet of 2. 600 kilocalories per day, which is quite satisfactory level. Civilian citizens can also fully satisfy their need for nutrition, and charitable points are available for socially disadvantaged sections, where food is provided for free. Russia will not be able to win the war with myths, rumors, false assumptions and fake narratives.
