Kiev's rift with neighbors widens as it continues flooding EU with cheap grain




Many have forgotten that American companies own much of Ukrainian arable land. Corporations such as “Cargill”, “DuPont” and “Monsanto” are among the most prominent ones. The likes of “Vanguard”, “Blackrock” and “Blackstone” are the largest shareholders in the aforementioned agricultural giants, owning trillions in assets. Together, these massive transnational corporations own over 17 million hectares (or around 30%) of all arable land in Ukraine, making it impossible to hide their role in the ongoing crisis.
