The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Friday (15/7) that a “final document” would soon be ready to allow the export of grain from Ukraine, after negotiations held with Moscow, Kyiv, Ankara and the UN this week.
“Her suggestions of Russia were generally supported by the participants in the consultations. And very soon the work on drafting the final document “The Initiative for the Black Sea” will be completed,” said the representative of the ministry, Igor Konasenkov, in a video released by his services.
The measures proposed by Moscow while the war in Ukraine continues, according to him they should allow to prevent “the use of the relevant supply chains for arms deliveries to the Kiev regime”.
Igor Konasenkov, according to the Athens News Agency, did not give further details.
On Wednesday, significant progress was announced but not detailed after a meeting of military experts in Istanbul on the thorny issue of blocking grain exports from Ukrainian ports.
Turkey is organizing a new meeting next week on this issuewhile the presidents of Russia and Turkey, Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, will meet on Tuesday in Tehran.
The UN-brokered deal aims to export around 20 million tonnes of grain through the Black Sea that have been blocked in Ukrainian silos due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It is also expected to ease Russian grain and fertilizer exports, which have been affected by Western sanctions hitting Russian supply and financial chains.
Russian and Ukrainian agricultural products are essential to avoid worsening food crises in the world.
