Moscow argues that Western sanctions make it difficult to organize the transport and insure of its cargo, even though they do not directly target its food and fertilizer exports.
The Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said today that the West is not keeping its pledge to help Russian food and fertilizer exports to international markets, raising possible questions about Russia’s commitment to a landmark grain deal with Ukraine.
Lavrov said the West had not eased sanctions to make it easier for Russia to move its agricultural products abroad. Moscow sees the pledge as a key part of a June deal brokered by the United Nations and Turkey to end a blockade on grain exports from its southern ports and limit the risk of a global food crisis. that lurks.
“Our colleagues in the West are not doing what was promised to us by the UN secretary general,” Lavrov said at a press conference in Moscow. “They are not making decisions to lift sanctions on logistical issues that prevent free access of Russian grain and fertilizers to world markets.”
Moscow argues that Western sanctions make it difficult to organize the transport and insure of its cargo, even though they do not directly target its food and fertilizer exports.
Lavrov said he is in contact with the UN and is pushing the organization to ensure that Western countries keep their own commitments in the grain deal. The deal remains the only major diplomatic development in Russia’s six-month war against Ukraine.
