Harare North lawmaker <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Allan_Markham">Allan Norman Markham</a> has demanded that the ministers of agriculture and finance give reasons behind the delayed payment of wheat farmers two months after delivering produce.
He made the remarks while raising a point of national interest last Thursday in parliament, according to Open Parly.
Markham said delayed payment may affect preparation for next season. He said:
<blockquote>
My point of national interest is requesting a statement from the Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, Climate and Rural Resettlement and the Minister of Finance and Economic Development. 
Currently, we are aware that the Government has yielded and received 255.000 tonnes of wheat. 
That has been in stock now for nearly two months and no wheat farmer that I am aware of has been paid anything yet. 
Wheat farmers are due to receive $200 to $220 per tonne and also ZWL 255.000 but none of this has been paid.
I think it is a matter of national importance that this House asks for a statement from the Minister as to the delay in payment.
</blockquote>
Furthermore, Markham expressed concern over reports that farmers were expected to pay for storage and marketing of the produce because the Government cannot pay them. 
Wheat is among the grain on the controlled produce list that restricts farmers to sell the produce to the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Grain_Marketing_Board">Grain Marketing Board</a> or contractor who has financed production.
Earlier in the year the government complained about side marketing by farmers insisting it would cause food insecurity.
The further payment delays to  wheat farmers may result into a shortage of the produce or a rise in price especially considering that there is wheat shortage on the global market due to the <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/ukraines-foreign-minister-putin-launched-full-scale-invasion-well-defend-and-win/">Russia-Ukraine war which began in February this year. </a>
Markham added that the delay will push the farmer to borrow in the financial sector with the highest lending rate in the world.

MP Demands Answers On Why "No Wheat Farmer Has Been Paid Anything Yet"

United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres has warned that the whole world might face food insecurity next year if the fertiliser market is not stabilised.
In a Twitter post seen by Pindula News, Guterres urged “all countries” to ensure the exportation of fertilisers from Russia is done without any hindrance. He said this Friday:
<blockquote>
If the fertilizer market is not stabilized, next year the world may run out of food. It is essential that all countries remove every remaining obstacle to the export of Russian fertilizers. We need to get them to farmers at a reasonable cost &amp; on to fields as soon as possible.
</blockquote>
<h2>Some context:</h2>
Western countries imposed sanctions on Russia early this year following the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February this year making it impossible for Russia to export its product.
Meanwhile, the United Nations has proposed that Russia resume exporting ammonia via Ukraine raising hopes that a global shortage of fertilizer could be eased, and in turn alleviate world food shortages exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine. 
The United Nations proposed that ammonia gas owned by Russian fertiliser producer Uralchem be pumped by pipeline to the Ukrainian border, where it would be bought by the U.S.-based commodities trader Trammo.
The pipeline is designed to pump up to 2.5 million tonnes of ammonia per year from Russia’s Volga region to Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Pivdennyi, near Odesa. It was shut down after Russia invaded Ukraine.
Part of the pipeline runs through the Mykolaiv region in Ukraine where there is regular shelling, though it has to date avoided any damage. 
<h2>Why is this important:</h2>
Ammonia is a key ingredient in the manufacture of nitrate fertiliser, which farmers including wheat producers need when they sow crops in autumn and spring, for good yields and protein content.
A steep rise in European gas prices has triggered a global shortage of nitrogen fertiliser. The Russian fertiliser industry estimates that up to 70% of European ammonia plants have suspended or reduced production.
Farmers in France are currently 20 percentage points behind the level of fertiliser cover seen a year ago and are concerned about 2023 crops.
Western sanctions imposed on Moscow since February 24 have not directly targeted fertiliser exports, but Russian producers lost access to the Baltic Sea ports that they had used, along with the pipeline, to ship their ammonia.
Uralchem is considering building an export terminal for ammonia in Russia’s Black Sea port of Taman, but this would take more than a year, according to Reuters.
Russia used to export 4.4 million tonnes of ammonia a year – 20% of the global seaborne trade. Some 2.5 million tonnes went through the pipeline and 1.9 million via Baltic ports.
The Russian ammonia used to go mainly to fertiliser producers in Morocco, Turkey, Southeast Asia and Africa, whose output the United Nations is keen to restore to help ease the global food crisis.
<h2>WHAT NEXT?</h2>
Ammonia is part of a U.N.-brokered deal that Ukraine, Russia and Turkey signed in July to re-establish grain exports from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports that Russia had blockaded. 
Moscow’s agreement is needed for the deal to be extended beyond late November, giving it a lever to ensure it can export ammonia.
A fortnight ago, the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin complained about the deal saying Russian fertiliser exports were still being hindered.

Blockade On Russian Fertiliser: UN SG António Guterres Says "The World May Run Out Of Food"

Hungary opposes the EU’s energy sector <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/25/world-leaders-impose-sanctions-on-russia-while-china-accuses-usa-and-allies/">sanctions against Russia</a> because Hungarian industry would come to a grinding halt without Russian oil and gas, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.
He made the remarks at a video conference with European Council President Charles Michel on Wednesday as part of preparations for an EU summit in France.

<ul>
<li class="entry-title"><a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/03/05/south-africa-anc-criticises-eu-for-sanctions-on-russia-rebukes-multichoice-for-removing-russian-tv/">South Africa: ANC Criticises EU For Sanctions On Russia, Rebukes Multichoice For Removing Russian TV</a></li>
</ul>
Bertalan Havasi, Prime Minister Orban’s spokesman, told the Hungarian news agency MTI that Orban emphasized in his conversation with Michel that Hungary condemns Russia’s actions in Ukraine, but does not want “to pay the price for it.” He said:
<blockquote>
We have to take into account that most of the oil and natural gas imports to Hungary come from Russia, 90% of Hungarian households heat their homes with gas. The prime minister pointed out that the Hungarian economy would stop without gas and oil.
</blockquote>
According to the spokesperson, Orban pointed out that “the reverberations of economic sanctions are felt by everyone in Europe, including Hungary.” The spokesman added:
<blockquote>
Viktor Orban made it clear that the extension of sanctions to the energy sector is going to put a disproportionate burden on people, households and companies.
</blockquote>
<h2>Why Hungary is worried: </h2>
<blockquote>
1). Last September, Hungary struck two long-term contract deals with Russia’s major gas company Gazprom, which provides for the deliveries of 4.5 billion cubic meters of gas via pipelines in Serbia and Austria, bypassing Ukraine. The agreement is for 15 years and may only be reviewed after ten years of its implementation. 
2). Budapest wants to increase gas deliveries through Serbia by one billion cubic meters per year, and this issue was brought up by Orban during his visit to Moscow in early February.
</blockquote>
Prices on global oil markets have since gone up as the conflict in Ukraine continues.
<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/24/ukraines-foreign-minister-putin-launched-full-scale-invasion-well-defend-and-win/">Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022</a> citing human rights abuses by Kiev on pro-Russian separatist groups. Ukraine dismisses allegations as propaganda. 
The United States, the United Kingdom, NATO and some Western countries, imposed sanctions on Russia in retaliation to the “unprovoked aggression.”

Hungary Opposes The EU’s Energy Sector Sanctions Against Russia

The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict which has unsettled global energy markets has impacted local fuel prices resulting in the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/03/09/zera-revises-fuel-prices-for-march-2022/">reviewing upwards the prices of diesel and petrol</a> for a second time in one week.
In a statement, earlier posted on Pindula News platforms, the regulatory body said the new price of diesel 50 in local currency is $218.01 per litre while that of petrol (E10) is $216.78.
In US dollars, the new price of diesel 50 is US$1,68 while petrol is now pegged at US$1,67. Reads part of the statement from ZERA:

Russia-Ukraine Conflict Unsettle Global Energy Markets

Zimbabwe which relies on Russia for at least 50% of its imported wheat is reportedly beginning to feel the impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine as the Southern African country’s wheat reserves are running dry.
Russia invaded Ukraine on the 24th of February 2022 citing human rights abuses in that country and since then, trade across the world tumbled.
Wheat from Russia and Ukraine constitutes 40% of the world’s wheat production.
The Grain Millers’ Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) confirmed the looming crisis this week, saying the country was reliant on the eastern European country that is now fully focused on its attack on Ukraine. GMAZ chairman, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tafadzwa_Musarara">Tafadzwa Musarara</a> said:
<blockquote>
 “In Zimbabwe, Russian wheat accounts for 50% of our imports and we use it mainly for production of bread flour and self-raising flour.
 The world supply situation is expected to worsen in the next weeks as market speculators dig in. The Russian-Ukraine war is unsettling the world wheat supply matrix and increase in wheat prices are now being felt in Beijing, Egypt, Italy and the entire African countries. 
It’s heavily anticipated that Nato countries, 70% of them are wheat producers and exporters, are going to escalate the war and consequently reduce drastically their wheat exporters, as they will be prioritising their national grain cover.
</blockquote>
Musarara said the imported wheat in the country was currently 30 per cent and the prices of the commodity have started to surge, and are expected to worsen.
Bread producers said hardly a week into the Russia-Ukraine war, wheat prices have already surged to record levels, with traders panicking as traders fear exports from Ukraine could slow down or stop completely, as Russian troops swoop on the country’s ports.
Exports are being disrupted in Russia, as several companies are stopping business with President Vladimir Putin’s administration.
Zimbabwe’s Agriculture sector, which is currently recovering, used to be the backbone of the country’s economy. Zimbabwe would export Agriculture produce as far as America and Europe.
The Agriculture sector collapsed at the turn of the millennium when Zimbabwe embarked on a chaotic land reform programme that coincided with climate change.

Zimbabwe Begins To Feel Impact Of The Russia-Ukraine War

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said sanctions imposed on his country are <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-putin-news-03-05-22/h_34e69607d6c894cb17da288fcf78e2f4?utm_source=twCNNi&amp;utm_content=2022-03-05T17%3A19%3A35&amp;utm_term=link&amp;utm_medium=social">“equivalent of a declaration of war,</a>” CNN reports.
Several countries including EU members, the US, the UK and Canada, <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/25/world-leaders-impose-sanctions-on-russia-while-china-accuses-usa-and-allies/">imposed sanctions</a> on Russia after Putin authorised the invasion of Ukraine on 24 March citing genocide on pro-Russian citizens.
Putin added that Russia could have avoided attacking Ukraine and “could have helped the republics of Donbas at the contact line and reinforced them with the Russian army, but in this case, and I mean with the unwavering support from the west, we would have radicals on the other side coming endlessly… with support from the west.” He added:
<blockquote>
The current [Ukrainian] leadership needs to understand that if they continue doing what they are doing, they put under question the future of Ukrainian statehood. And if that happens, it will be entirely on their conscience.
</blockquote>
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the West was engaged in “economic banditry” against Russia and that Moscow would respond. 
He did not specify what response there would be but said it would be in line with Russian interests. 
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett flew to Moscow to meet Putin regarding Ukraine. 
Bennett, who is religious, took the unusual step of flying on the Sabbath to meet him. The trip follows a request by Ukraine for Israel to mediate the conflict.

Sanctions Are Equivalent To A Declaration Of War - Russian President Putin

About 18 Zimbabwean students are stuck in Sumy, a city in north-eastern Ukraine, and have told The NewsHawks they are fast running out of food and water. The terrified students are now pleading with the United Nations to rescue them. 
<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/03/01/russia-ukraine-war-zimbabwe-evacuates-over-100-students/">Zimbabwe this week evacuated 118 students</a> who were studying after some 200 students made a distress call following Russia’s attack on Ukraine on 24 February.
The government indicated they would be assisted once they get to any third country including Moldova and Poland, therefore, it is difficult to assist those in isolated Sumy.
Bridges leading to the city have been bombed. The local train station was also reportedly destroyed, making escape impossible for desperate foreigners. According to the Guardian newspaper, about 1 500 people are still stuck in Sumy.
It is not clear who bombed the bridges, but, Ukrainian forces have been destroying bridges to slow down Russian forces.
A large Russian military convoy stretching over 30 km was delayed on Thursday.
<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/24/ukraines-foreign-minister-putin-launched-full-scale-invasion-well-defend-and-win/">Russian forces launched military operations in Ukraine on February 24</a>, three days after Moscow recognised Ukraine’s breakaway regions – Donetsk and Luhansk – as independent entities.
Ukraine’s allies, including the United States of America, the European Union and the United Kingdom, criticised “Russia’s unprovoked aggression” and imposed sanctions calling on Russia to stop the war.
NATO ruled out sending troops into Ukraine and also rejected Ukraine’s call to impose a no-fly zone on Ukraine saying that would trigger a full-fledged war in Europe.
Meanwhile, the economy has started to respond to the war with gas prices in Europe going up in recent days.

Russia/Ukraine War: About 18 Zimbabwean Students Stuck In Isolated City

The government of Zimbabwe has evacuated over 100 students who were studying in Ukraine amid growing tensions between Kyiv and neighbouring Russia.
Some 200 students made a distress call following Russia’s attack on Ukraine on 24 February and the government indicated they would be assisted once they get to any third country including Moldova and Poland.
Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Secretary, Nick Mangwana, announced Tuesday that the students have been relocated to other European countries. He wrote on Twitter:
<blockquote>
To date 118 students have been relocated to the following safe places, Romania – 28, Hungary -15, -Slovakia -26, Poland – 49.
Tickets have been purchased for the first group of students who relocated to Poland.
</blockquote>
Last week the Government said it <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/27/govt-sends-official-to-poland-to-assist-students-fleeing-ukraine/">had registered 256 Zimbabwean nationals who were stranded</a> in the besieged country.
It also advised that it had dispatched an official to Poland to organise their stay in Poland and buy their tickets to Zimbabwe adding that all those who are stranded and wish to travel to Zimbabwe will be assisted.

Russia-Ukraine War: Zimbabwe Evacuates Over 100 Students

UEFA has changed the venue of the 2022 Champions League final in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Thursday. 
The match was due to take place at the Gazprom Arena in Saint Petersburg on May 28.
According to reports, UEFA came under pressure and moved the game to France after Russia attacked Ukraine. In a statement, UEFA said:
<blockquote>
The UEFA Executive Committee today held an extraordinary meeting following the grave escalation of the security situation in Europe. “The UEFA Executive Committee decided to relocate the final of the 2021/22 UEFA Men’s Champions League from Saint Petersburg to Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
 The game will be played as initially scheduled on Saturday 28 May at 21:00 CET.
UEFA wishes to express its thanks and appreciation to French Republic President Emmanuel Macron for his personal support and commitment to have European club football’s most prestigious game moved to France at a time of unparalleled crisis.
Together with the French government, UEFA will fully support multi-stakeholder efforts to ensure the provision of rescue for football players and their families in Ukraine who face dire human suffering, destruction and displacement.
At today’s meeting, the committee also decided that Russian and Ukrainian clubs and national teams competing in UEFA competitions will be required to play their home matches at neutral venues until further notice.
</blockquote>
The tournament is now in the Round of 16 stage after the games resumed in mid-February.
Last season’s final was switched from Istanbul to Porto just three weeks before kick-off after the Turkish city was placed on the COVID-19 red list, meaning supporters were unable to travel.

UEFA Changes Venue Of Champions League From Russia To France

Russian President Vladimir Putin <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/24/ukraines-foreign-minister-putin-launched-full-scale-invasion-well-defend-and-win/">announced a military operation in Ukraine</a> on Thursday 24 February 2022 with explosions heard soon after in the capital and other parts of the country, prompting outrage from Joe Biden who warned of a “catastrophic loss of life”. Putin said in a television announcement shortly before 6:00 am (0300 GMT) in Moscow:
<blockquote>
I have made the decision of a military operation.
</blockquote>
Putin called on Ukrainian soldiers to lay down their arms, and justified the invasion by claiming a “genocide” in Ukraine’s east. He also warned, “<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/24/watch-whoever-would-try-to-stop-us-russias-response-will-be-immediate-putin/">Whoever would try to stop us and further create threats,</a> to our people, should know that Russia’s response will be immediate and lead you to such consequences that you have never faced in your history.” 
Last night, the 23rd of February marked the start of an unthinkable military blunder in the history of World Wars, security sources have claimed after Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a military invasion of Ukraine-government controlled territories.
According to Ukraine security sources, volleys of missiles, artilleries and other military weapons flooded towards Ukraine’s borders with Russia last night and other cities including Skadovsk and the capital Kyiv have already reported fatalities and property destructions after airstrikes hit those regions.
A planned military operation by Russia is happening in Ukraine in Putin’s bid to gain control of Ukraine-controlled territories.
The country’s defense has also claimed that it has gunned down six Russian aircraft and killed more than fifty of its soldiers.
Major missile strikes have so far been reported in most of Ukraine’s cities with online pictures and videos indicating huge damage to buildings.
A number of media houses on the ground including <a href="https://news.sky.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Sky News</a> have compiled pictures and video footages of what is happening in Ukraine.
Here are some devastating photos of the Russia-Ukraine war iHarare got hold of that show the impact of the conflict since last night.

Pictures  From Ukraine Amid Russian Attack

At least 200 Zimbabwean students are stranded in Ukraine after flights were grounded as Russia began a military offensive this week.
The students have sent a plea to the Zimbabwe government to be evacuated.
The ministry of <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/24/zimbabwe-government-issues-advisory-on-ukraine-as-russia-attacks-its-neighbour/">foreign affairs said its embassy in Germany was coordinating with Zimbabwean citizens inside Ukraine.</a>
Faith Vundla, a third-year medical student in Odessa, a port city on the Black Sea in southern Ukraine, said Russian bombs started falling on the city at around 4 AM on Thursday. 
She had booked a flight to Zimbabwe for Friday, but that can no longer happen after the airspace over Ukraine were closed to civilian aircraft.
Vundla estimates that 30 Zimbabwean students are in Odessa, with dozens more at universities around Ukraine including the capital, Kyiv, which has also come under attack.
Vundla said she was among the students that had joined a WhatsApp group created by the embassy. The students also have a separate WhatsApp group, she said, which has close to 200 people. Vundla told ZimLive:
<blockquote>
The embassy has advised us to get to Poland from where we can be evacuated. The trouble is that to get into Poland you need a Schengen visa which most of us don’t have. 
The other issue is that travel inside Ukraine itself has become very difficult, it’s more practical to go to a country closest to you and for us here in Odessa, that country is Moldova. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution around it I’m afraid and we desperately need our government to help us.
</blockquote>
Vundla said she and her friends planned to gather in one place as they await directions from the Zimbabwe government.
Russian forces invaded Ukraine by land, air and sea on Thursday. Missiles rained down on Ukrainian cities.
In a <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/24/ukraines-foreign-minister-putin-launched-full-scale-invasion-well-defend-and-win/">televised declaration of war</a> in the early hours, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he had ordered “a special military operation” to protect people, including Russian citizens, subjected to “genocide” in Ukraine, an accusation western countries called absurd propaganda.

At Least 200 Zimbabwean Students Stranded In Ukraine

The Zimbabwean government has advised its citizens in Ukraine who might need assistance to contact the country’s embassy in Berlin following Russia’s attack on its neighbour this Thursday. Said the government in a statement:
<blockquote>
Govt has taken note of the current situation in Ukraine and the possibility of our nationals being caught in it. Any Zimbabweans in Ukraine needing Govt intervention are advised to make contact with our Embassy in Berlin on Tel: +49 30 232556760 infor@zimembassyberlin.com
FURTHER CONTACT DETAILS; 
Email adress: zimberlin@zimfa.gov.zw 
Contact numbers: 0049 30206 2263 / 770067
</blockquote>
He speaks after Russian President Vladimir Putin <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/24/ukraines-foreign-minister-putin-launched-full-scale-invasion-well-defend-and-win/">announced a military operation in Ukraine on Thursday 24 February 2022</a> with explosions heard soon after in the capital and other parts of the country. 
Putin warned, “Whoever would try to stop us and further create threats, to our people, should know that Russia’s response will be immediate and lead you to such consequences that you have never faced in your history.” 
The United States and NATO members said they will respond decisively but ruled out sending troops to Ukraine.
