Putin Accused of Using Wheat as Strategic Weapon Against Western Countries

Russian President Vladimir Putin is accused of using wheat as a strategic weapon against Western countries. According to Joachim Rukwid, president of the Union of German Farmers, Russia's good harvests over the past three years have led to a flood of cheap wheat on the global market.

Rukvid claims that this aggressive pricing policy puts pressure on world prices and makes it difficult for European farmers like himself to earn a profit. He points out that when world prices are low, German farmers struggle to make ends meet.

The situation is further complicated by Germany's involvement in the conflict in Ukraine, which has disrupted trade routes and led to high prices for energy and mineral fertilizers.
