The first grain ship was supposed to land in starving Lebanon, but the buyer withdrew from the contract citing the 5-month delay.

What about the rest? I have doubts that UK, Ireland, Italy, South Korea and Turkey are going to share it with Africa, not to mention there are more efficient ways to deliver the corn there.

No idea, and tbh I don't like it either. Still, grain and corn are fungible goods with liquid markets. Hundreds of thousands of tons entering the world market will eventually bring down prices everywhere, including in Africa and the Middle East.

Sure, some sorts of grain can exceed 5 years of storage, so there's a reserve that can be thrown to market once the crysis resolves (probably this doesn't work well for Africa). But the UN sheet (i is optional) is rather remarkable.

Turkey is currently suffering from an inflation rate of 80% and Erdogan is up for reelection next year - he's desperate as fuck. That's really all there is to it.

China is siding with Russia and labeling the US as responsible for the war in Ukraine;

Quote
“As the initiator and main instigator of the Ukrainian crisis, Washington, while imposing unprecedented comprehensive sanctions on Russia, continues to supply arms and military equipment to Ukraine,” Zhang was quoted as saying in an interview with the Russian state news agency TASS.

“Their ultimate goal is to exhaust and crush Russia with a protracted war and the cudgel of sanctions.”

The ambassador’s reasoning closely followed one of Russia’s own justifications for its invasion of Ukraine, which has resulted in thousands of deaths and the devastation of entire cities, as well as driving more than a quarter of the population to flee their homes.

In the interview, Zhang said Sino-Russian relations had entered “the best period in history, characterised by the highest level of mutual trust, the highest degree of interaction, and the greatest strategic importance”.

Russian President Vladimir Putin travelled to Beijing in February to meet President Xi Jinping as Russian tanks were massing on the Ukrainian border, agreeing to what both states hailed as a “no limits” partnership superior to any Cold War alliance.

Zhang railed against US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s visit last week to self-governing Taiwan, which China claims as its own, and said the US was trying to apply the same tactics in Ukraine and Taiwan to “revive a Cold War mentality, contain China and Russia, and provoke major power rivalry and confrontation”.
