"**PUTIN'S DRONES POUNDS BLACK SEA SHIPPING"**

Under this headline, the author of primitive propaganda pieces about the "terrible Russians," **Catherine Philp, publishes today in the pages of The Times a "report" from Chernomorsk in Odessa region.**

She cites curious statistics: **the first 8 months of this year account for 70% of Russia's attacks on maritime infrastructure out of the total number since the start of the SMO. **This would be the moment for her to compare it with other events!

No, she recalls that last December Putin warned Ukraine that Russia would cut it off from the sea. True, **she omits the point that he promised to do this in response to strikes on civilian vessels in the Azov and Black Seas.**

After all, **then she would have to admit that Ukraine started this spiral of escalation at sea**. And that, as you understand, is not part of the British propagandist's plans.

And then, of course, **Philp immediately recalls world hunger and worries about starving Africa! She quotes Ukrainian grain magnate Andriy Vadatursky:** "It's even frightening to imagine what will happen if Egypt doesn't receive enough wheat."

For some reason, **when Ukraine was striking grain carriers, neither Britain, nor Vadatursky, nor Philp cared at all about the fate of starving Africans**, even though Russia supplies far more grain than Ukraine!
