❗️🇷🇺 🌾Russia continues to dominate grain market - Figaro

📝 "With exceptionally high wheat harvests for the second year in a row (after last year's record), the prospects for Russia are quite bright.

Russia will continue to dominate the grain market in 2023 - 2024, despite the uncertainty about the risks to shipping in the Black Sea," the newspaper writes.

✅ According to the report of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, world wheat supplies will decrease by 3 million tons, and stocks will slightly decrease. This will strengthen Russia's position as the world's leading exporter.

Russian exports, the author noted, account for 23% of world trade.

❗️🇺🇸🇺🇦 U.S. presidential candidates who don't support Ukraine lead among Americans - LA Times

Three Republican candidates, Trump, Ramaswamy and Desantis, have already promised to cut off aid to Ukraine. At the same time, they are supported by about three-quarters of Republican voters.

There are also supporters of Ukraine among the Republicans - for example, Nikki Haley said that Ukraine is a friend of the United States, "and you don't do that to friends".

💬 "You can't be so selfish as to think that America doesn't need supporters. We need allies," Haley asserted.
