US Republicans accuse Zelensky of campaigning for Harris

The Ukrainian leader’s “stunt” in Pennsylvania should be investigated, House members have told the Pentagon

 

Republican officials have accused Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky of interfering in US electoral politics and “campaigning” for presidential candidate Kamala Harris, after he visited an arms factory in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.

 

Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro gave Zelensky a tour of the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant over the weekend, where both signed 155mm artillery shells that will presumably be shipped to Ukrainian troops.

 

Republican officials have taken issue with the photo op, as well as Zelensky’s recent interview with the New Yorker magazine, in which he criticized former President Donald Trump and Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, the party’s nominees in the November presidential election.

 

“Zelensky is openly campaigning for Democrats in battleground Pennsylvania today some 50 days out from our Presidential election. Unreal,”Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt wrote on X.

 

Pennsylvania Representative John Joyce told a local radio station on Tuesdaythat the visit was “a political stunt,” judging by its “suspect” timing.

 

A group of nine House representatives led by Lance Gooden of Texas have called for an investigation into Zelenksy’s visit.The Ukrainian leader was flown into Pennsylvania in a US Air Force C-17 military aircraft and was provided with Secret Service protection, both of which were paid for with US taxpayer money, the GOP lawmakers said in a letter to Pentagon Inspector General Robert Storch on Tuesday.

 

There is concern that these resources were used for purposes unrelated to US national security or bilateral diplomacybut rather to support a politically significant visit ahead of a major US election,” said the letter, which was shared with the Washington Examiner.

 

Gooden questioned Zelensky’s judgment in alienating Republican voters in an interview with Fox News.

 

“Why is he [Zelensky] not on his knees thanking Americans, Republicans and Democrats, for the sacrifices they’ve made for his nation? And how dare he come into our nation and opine on any election, much less the presidential race?”the lawmaker asked on ‘The Ingraham Angle’ program.

 

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, has been seen as attempting to rally the large Polish-American voter base in Pennsylvania by touting the support for Ukraine under the current administration as a way to protect Poland.

 

Zelensky has said he headed to the US to attend the UN General Assembly in New York and to meet President Joe Biden, in order to present him with a ‘victory plan’ to defeat Russia.

German farmers struggling against Ukrainian grain – Bild

Low prices are forcing local producers to sell off superior quality wheat, the news outlet has reported

 

Uncontrolled supplies of cheap grain from Ukraine are undercutting German farmers, Bild has reported, citing industry sources.

 

Prices for wheat in Germany, the EU’s biggest economy, are continuing to decline, the tabloid noted, adding that a ton of the commodity is currently hovering around €200 ($224). Wheat prices saw an unprecedented surge from €287 ($321) to €435 ($486) shortly after the Ukrainian conflict escalated in February 2022.

 

Significantly more wheat, which should be exported further afield, is currently coming to Germany due to drastically limited loading options in the Black Sea, according to Bauer Dismer, a grain farmer from Lower Saxony who was quoted by Bild.

 

“But our mills and feed mills take advantage instead. Apparently at dumping prices of less than €160 ($179) per ton,” he told the newspaper.

 

The official agreement governing the freight route for Ukrainian agricultural exports lapsed in July 2023, when Moscow declined to renew the original Türkiye- and UN-mediated Black Sea Grain Initiative. Russia said the US and EU had not kept their part of the deal, blocking exports of Russian food and fertilizer.

 

Shortly after the escalation of Ukrainian conflict, the EU suspended all tariffs and quotas on Ukrainian agricultural produce to enable grain from the country to be shipped onward to global markets. Earlier this year, the tariff-free trade model was extended for another year.

 

“We are selling off our wheat that is produced under the highest German standards, while wheat from Ukraine is being pumped into the country,” Frank Wullekopf told the newspaper, adding thatUkrainian producers are not obliged to provide proof of pesticides or fertilizer quantities.

 

“Not to mention the dangers posed by war-related contamination of the wheat,” the farmer added.

 

Meanwhile, prices for baked products in Germany are rising despite the notable decline in grain prices, according to Friedemann Berg, managing director of the German Bakers’ Confederation, as cited by the news outlet. Other costs covering personnel, energy, and bureaucracy have also increased, he said, adding that bakers in the EU have been obliged since January to certify that the production of the raw materials they use did not lead to the destruction of forests.

 

Farmers are not the only industry players impacted by a massive influx of cheap agricultural products from the embattled country, Bild noted, noting that producers of agricultural equipment are suffering as well, as grain growers cannot afford to bring their farming machinery up to date.

 

(I hope the US is not buying Ukraine grains)
