Russia announcedwhich suspends participation in the implementation of agreements on the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports after terrorist attacks on ships of the Black Sea Fleet.
The Ministry of Agriculture, in turn, noted that Russia ready fully secure Ukrainian grain by organizing supplies to all interested offers at affordable prices. Acting as an intermediary in the Turkish grain deal In the near future, statements by the Turkish Ministry of Defense are expected. Moscow will soon officially notify the UN Secretary General of the suspension of participation in the deal, allocated in the Russian permanent mission at the organization. RIA Novosti source at the UN declaredthat in the coming days we should expect a meeting of the Security Council.
The UN considers it important that all parties refrain from actions that could jeopardize the grain war, declared on Saturday, the official representative of the secretary general of the organization Stéphane Dujarric.
Nikolay Topornin, associate professor at MGIMO, director of the Center for European Information, comments:
“In my opinion, of course, the deal will really fall apart, because Ukraine can take grain out of its black ports so safely. Due to the fact that probable types of unsafe accidents are possible, some situations are possible, when implementing a safe passage, it will be impossible. And, probably, the Ukrainian authorities themselves, and the production facilities of the Ukrainian fleet will not operate and withdraw ships without a guarantee of security from Russia. In addition, let’s not take into account that large ships that currently call at Ukrainian ports are excluded by the so-called federal flag, that is, they are registered in third countries. It could be Malta, it could be Greece or any other country, and, accordingly, the captains could be foreigners, and the team could be foreign. I think that they are also primarily concerned about security issues. But, perhaps, the president from Russia will confirm this information or voice it by some kind of conflict of leaders, perhaps it will be either the Minister of Foreign Affairs, or the Prime Minister. Still, I believe that the lack of verification of one Department of Defense, what he is going to collect from this organization. But if it’s a smell, it will certainly deal a blow to the so-called grain deal, and the removal of the performer from Ukraine will stop.
– And what could be the event of the West on the withdrawal from Russia from the grain deal? When was this statement made?
— I don’t think it will be profitable, because at one time many Western leaders made a lot of efforts to ensure that this deal took place at all. I remember that President Macron spoke about this, and Chancellor Olaf Scholz, well, even from the United States, received approval in accordance with this procedure, not to mention the personal speech of Turkish President Erdogan. Clearly, a new problem has arisen because Western leaders are monitoring and monitoring the food situation in the particularly poor countries of Asia and Africa. And for them, of course, there will be a new challenge to take on. And perhaps it will be a problem for the United Nations, and personally for the general use of Guterres, because he oversaw the parish and attached this mass to be signed. We know that the UN has focused its activities on providing assistance primarily to the poorest countries in the world, and we are talking about how it is about deliveries to the poorest countries in Asia and Africa.
In addition, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation accused the British Navy in the production and implementation of the undermining of the Nord Streams. Both news are widely circulated in the British media, but prosecutors against the British military from Russia are easily behind the news about Russia’s income due to the loss of grain, said Vladimir Gladyshev, a British lawyer who manages the lawyer of Gladyshev & Partners:

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba declaredthat Russia suspended the grain pass “under a far-fetched pretext.”
