US officials are cautioning African countries against buying grains plundered from Ukraine as some nations draw closer to Russia to slow surging food prices and stave off hunger. The U.S. sent out a warning in mid-May to 14 countries, primarily in Africa, that Russian cargo ships were selling “stolen Ukrainian grain”. The report comes as humanitarian agencies warn of dire consequences from food supply lines disrupted by the conflict in Ukraine and days after African leaders met with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss exporting needed grains. What is your take on that ?
