WFP executive director David Beasley also warned in an interview Thursday with The Associated Press in Kyiv that Russia’s invasion of grain-exporting Ukraine risks destabilizing nations far from its shores and could trigger waves of migrants seeking better lives elsewhere.
In the war of oligarchs the people are the pawns to move around and be sacrificed.
Skeptical
Russian attitudes about humanitarian aid into Ukraine is contemptible. Targeting and destroying the marked International Committee of the Red Cross (IRCC) building with aircraft and artillery fire, and detaining the IRCC's team that was attempting to deliver food, is nothing short of a crime against the entire international community.

Drop some food instead of dropping bombs!

Innocent civilian men, women and children...
War crimes committed by Vlad the Butcher in plain sight...
He either bombs them, ties their hands behind their backs and shoots them, or surrounds their cities and starves them to death....
And yet the far-right posters here praise and defend him...
They are as evil as he is...

Since it’s a war crime, couldn’t humanitarian food drops be conducted?

Then do something to feed the people instead of just complaining about it.
Good at supplies of weapons terrible at supplies of food ?

I agree with you 100%. But lets not forget something else.
When the exact same thing was happening in Chechnya and Syria, the west was complacent and didn't show the level of outrage at Russia nor the solidarity with the Syrians nor the Chechens the way they are doing with the Ukrainians. There were no crippling sanctions as Vlad slaughtered the Syrian and Chechen people en mass. No one cared about those people, which is why you are seeing the situation in Ukraine today. Had the west done the right thing and stood up to the previous genocides committed by Russia, maybe Vlad would not have been so emboldened to do this.
Ironically, because of western bigotry towards Muslim and non white people, and their willingness to turn the other way as they got slaughtered, they created this delusion in Putin's mind that he can do what he wants.
Had the west expressed the same kind of outrage during the previous genocides, they most likely wouldn't have gotten to this point. The west is partially to blame in that they created the kind of atmosphere through complacency that allowed us to get here.

Have you been living on Mars for the past 50 days?
Ukraine has been fighting like hell against the Russian orcs.
The responsibility for the state of Mariupol and its remaining residents lies squarely on the shoulders of the russian invaders.

I agree, and because of Putin's global media and his 'useful' propaganda spreaders, the Kremlin's lies have been accepted, as have been the atrocities Russian forces have inflicted on Chechens and Syrians. especially by those who idolize Putin, including the 'muh Russia' US passport holders' and other Zazi herd members who've supported Putin's efforts to further divide and separate peoples by race, religion and caste, while throwing fuel on long-burning fires, then fanning flames.

The official demands are per citations ‘Weapons, weapons, weapons’. So face the truth that both involved governments don’t give a dime on any civilians and their starving. They could have avoided it by civilized negotiations and one side giving up a bit more than the other, but they haven’t and are keen on fighting out that war to the last. Why? It’s the same mindset and the same military policy etc, because they all are sharing the same history, same time under USSR and the same military training and bad behavior. Dry them out both and quickly, that’s the only option if you want to end this starving and the continuing humanitarian catastrophe as a whole.

Or Russia could just go back home, right Sven?

Face the truth, if Russia had not invaded this would not be happening. If Russian troops go back to their homes in Russia things should quickly improve. But to face the truth, Putin cultists would have to admit their cult leader is a butcher and a liar, and currently seen by the most of the world as the most evil human alive. And his propaganda spreaders and other supporters as contributors to evil.
