      it’s grain trap diplomacy.

      What, just like that?

      At least the article makes it seem like so:

      Cubans will benefit from more than 25,000 tons of wheat from the Russian Federation, whose government allocated more than 800 million rubles to the Ministry of Emergencies for the purchase and delivery of this product to Cuba.

      This is humanitarian aid, which will arrive by sea this year and next, according to a decree cited by Prensa Latina. The document states that 469 million rubles (about 6.7 million US dollars) will be allocated from the state budget for the purchase of wheat.

      Meanwhile, more than 300 million will be allocated for the delivery of cargo by sea to Cuba.
