The imperialist powers of Europe and North America are on the one hand, buying up 90% of Ukrainian grain and still doing all they can to block exports of Russian food and fertilizer to poorer regions of the world.

China has been the biggest destination of Ukrainian grain

"Imperialist powers of Europe" would be true only if ya consider Turkey as part of imperialist Europe - because the 3 top European destinations are Spain, Turkey, and Italy (in that order)
The other big destinations outside Europe are Egypt, Iran, Tunisia, Libya, Israel, India, and South Korea
While North America doesn't even get in the list
