Ukraine: President Zelensky welcomes continuation of grain export agreement

by

Zelensky welcomed the continuation of grain exports, which he described as “important for the whole world”, following Moscow’s decision to return to the international agreement reached in July.

A Russian fighter jet fired two missiles that passed over the Black Sea “corridor” used to export Ukrainian grain, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed tonight in his customary evening message.

“Each of these launches – and they happen almost daily – directly threatens food exports,” he said.

Zelensky welcomed the continuation of grain exports, which he described as “important for the whole world”, following Moscow’s decision to return to the international agreement reached in July. “Today we have a diplomatic result important for our country and for the whole world: the implementation of the initiative for the export of (Ukrainian) grain continues,” he stressed.

At the same time, however, Zelensky said that Russia’s request for “guarantees” in order to join the agreement “shows the failure of its attack” on Ukraine but also “how strong we are when we stand together.”

Earlier Moscow said it had received “sufficient” written guarantees from Ukraine to return to the deal.
