| − | Lately, I have been hearing more and more about the so-called – please excuse me, I really would not like to do this here, even mention my own name in this regard, but I cannot help it – we all hear about the so-called ‘Putin inflation’ in [[the West]]. When I see this, I wonder who they expect would buy this nonsense – people who cannot read or write, maybe. Anyone [[literate]] enough to read would understand what is actually happening. | + | Lately, I have been hearing more and more about the so-called – please excuse me, I really would not like to do this here, even mention my own name in this regard, but I cannot help it – we all hear about the so-called ‘Putin inflation’ in [[the West]].

| | [[Russia]], our actions to liberate Donbass have absolutely nothing to do with this. The rising prices, accelerating inflation, shortages of [[food]] and [[fuel]], petrol, and problems in the [[energy]] sector are the result of system-wide errors the current US administration and European bureaucracy have made in their economic policies. That is where the reasons are, and only there. | | [[Russia]], our actions to liberate Donbass have absolutely nothing to do with this.

| − | This is what I would like to add. For a long time, the United States was a big food supplier in the world market. It was proud, and with good reason, of its achievements, its [[agriculture]] and farming traditions. By the way, this is an example for many of us, too. But today, America’s role has changed drastically. It has turned from a net exporter of food into a net importer. Loosely speaking, it is printing money and pulling commodity flows its way, buying food products all over the world. | + | This is what I would like to add.
