"Putin's Generous Grain Gift: 6 African Countries to Receive Free Supply"

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced at the Russia-Africa summit that Russia will provide up to 50,000 tons of free grain to six African countries, including Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, Central African Republic, and Eritrea. This comes after Russia halted a grain deal that allowed Ukrainian grain to be exported to Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Putin blamed Western sanctions for obstructing Russia's grain and fertilizer supplies and expressed readiness to replace Ukrainian grain exports to Africa. The summit will also focus on expanding trade and developing financial ties between Russia and Africa.
