West failed to hold up its end of Black Sea grain deal

Russia and Africa should now work on a more fair agreement, Ovigwe Eguegu told RT An excavator loads grain into a cargo ship at a grain port in Izmail, Ukraine, April 26, 2023 ©  AP / Andrew Kravchenko It is “disingenuous” of the West to expect Russia to renew the Black Sea grain deal when Western governments didn’t hold up their end of the bargain, policy analyst Ovigwe Eguegu told RT on Saturday. Russia and Africa, he argued, should strike a new deal. “The agreement had run its full course,” said Eguegu, a policy expert at consultancy Development Reimagined. “The conditions were not met, for instance that the Russian agricultural bank would be reconnected to SWIFT, that the EU would lift all restrictions on Russian agricultural products th...

The island, having been cut in half, demarcates an artificial boundary between Asia and Oceania. In the past several centuries, the broader island has been carved upon between almost every colonial power going, having been ruled at various points by the Dutch Empire, the Spanish Empire, the German Empire, the Empire of Japan, and the British Empire. Even after gaining its formal independence in 1975 from Australia, these legacies continue to scar the island, with ha...

Zelensky reveals cause of counteroffensive failure

Kiev's allies have not dug deep enough into their weapons stockpiles, according to the Ukrainian leader ©  Getty Images / Glan Marco Benedetto Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky attributed the delay and lackluster results of his military’s much-hyped counteroffensive to insufficient weapons and training from Kiev’s Western allies in an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria on Sunday.  “We did have plans to start [the counteroffensive] in spring. But we didn’t, because, frankly, we had not enough munitions and armaments and not enough brigades properly trained in these weapons,” Zelensky explained, adding that holding the training outside Ukraine further contributed to the delays.  It was this delay, he said, that allowed Russia to “mine all o...
