Authorities imposed by Russia on the Zaporizhia province in southeastern Ukraine, which is partly under Russian control, announced today that they have reached an agreement to sell grain abroad, mainly to the Middle East, Russia’s TASS news agency reported.
The countries with which an agreement was reached are Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, the agency added, citing Yevgeny Balitsky, head of the Russian-imposed administration in Zaporizhia.
Balitsky noted that a contract has been signed to sell 150,000 tons of grain to Iran, adding that Russian traders and state-owned companies are buying grain from Zaporizhia farmers.
“Prices are not bad right now,” he said.
Ukraine accuses Russia, the world’s biggest grain exporter, of stealing grain from Ukrainian territories seized by its military, which Moscow denies.
Meanwhile, Moscow plans to build a railway line to connect the southern Russian province of Rostov with Donetsk and Luhansk in Ukraine, according to TASS.
Russia took full control of Ukraine’s Luhansk province on Sunday, and Russian forces are fighting to drive Ukrainian forces out of Donetsk.
