Russia has partly succeeded in claiming, falsely, that the global grain crunch is due to Western sanctions against it.
Yet grains are not sanctioned, and even if they were, there is a humanitarian exemption written into all EU sanctions against Russia. twitter.com/MatinaStevis/s…

Australia’s new prime minister appointed the country’s first “minister for the republic” — a position intended to begin the transition away from the British monarchy to an Australian head of state. But the idea is far from the top of the agenda.

NEW: The US alerts 14 countries, most in Africa, that Russian ships filled with stolen Ukrainian grain could be headed their way, posing a dilemma to countries facing dire food shortages.
Russia has stolen up to 500,000 tons of wheat, worth $100 million.

Like the prince, the shah of Iran was an unelected monarch with a tarnished human rights record. But (Jimmy) Carter was obliged to celebrate with him for a cause that was of great concern to people back home: cheaper gasoline and secure oil supplies. nytimes.com/2022/06/05/bus…

Retweeted by Matina Stevis-Gridneff Europe can often look more fractious than it is. Where it matters, however, the EU has shown unity, as a new sanctions package against Russia demonstrates econ.st/3amJ6cV

What a time to be here doing this work.
❗"Please help. The children will die here." Got this message & a video of crying, sick children this morning. Equal measure heartbreaking & infuriating. @hellenicpolice still has not assisted these asylum seekers on Evros islet despite orders by @ECHR_CEDH & Greek prosecutor 1/ twitter.com/g_christides/s…
Retweeted by Matina Stevis-Gridneff EU diplomats have been begrudging the US administration's inability to lean on Gulf countries to up oil production. This is key for Europe, which is taking the biggest hit by banning RU fuels to hurt Putin for his invasion of Ukraine.

Epic thread. Brilliant work 👇�twitter.com/PekingMike/sta…eL
EU sixth sanctions package approved. Hungarians succeeded in removing Patriarch Kirill of Moscow from the list.
The only possible outcome of this is that EIB will get the best, most impactful press coverage. Because Nikos doesn’t do anything poorly. Will miss you in journalism, they’re too lucky to have you. Good luck ♥️ twitter.com/nchrysoloras/s…
Why is there a global food crisis? "Russia is currently blocking 22 million tons of grain in Ukraine, bombarding houses where wheat is stored, and mining fields," said Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission. nytimes.com/live/2022/06/0…

Retweeted by Matina Stevis-Gridneff Back when ruble-gate was hot someone on Twitter said, you'll know who's paying Gazprom in rubles because the gas will keep flowing to them.
A month on, it's more like you'll know who's NOT paying in rubles because the gas gets cut off.
Hint: most are paying in rubles.
"Sincere" is the new "frank" twitter.com/eucopresident/…
Dutch energy provider GasTerra announces Gazprom will cease its gas supply starting tomorrow, after the company refused to settle payments in rubles.
EU poised to punish Russia with previously unthinkable oil embargo. Effective Hungary carveout signals we're in a 26 versus 1 world now.

Retweeted by Matina Stevis-Gridneff For EU Bubble dwellers, you may need ice skates to cross Rue de la Loi from the Berlayment to Justus Lipsius. Yikes.
Much as the Orban dissent and 26 vs 1 narrative is important, it's also important methinks to note that the EU is going to ban the vast majority of Russian oil imports by the end of the year. A measure once unthinkable, that will definitely hit Russia's finances.
Vintage Orban at EU summit doorstep: says there's no agreement, goes hard against the Commission. Then asked about the deal his own ambassador negotiated, excluding piped oil, says "The pipeline solution is not bad. You mean leaving out the pipeline? Yeah. It's a good approach."
Tragedy and serendipity are dispensed randomly in war, and on March 5, when a Russian plane fell from the sky, they produced two very different results in Chernihiv, a city in Ukraine’s north. nyti.ms/3N2V3D1

Inclusive leadership is paramount: you've got to look like the world you're seeking to help. To be an effective org in today's world, you need to be younger & match diversity. Good to be part of discussion led by @MatinaStevis today on leadership in an era of rolling crises.
