The Russian Federation insisted on a “naturalness of the package and full compliance with the requirements of the” grain agreement “.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has again threatened to end the grain corridor if “Moscow’s basic requirements are not met,” Russian media reported.
The Kremlin leader claims that most of the grain goes through the corridor along the Black Sea to “the countries fed by Europe”, and not to Africa.
According to him, Russia agreed to extend its participation in the grain deal for 60 days, “mainly guided by the needs of African countries.”
“At the same time, we insist on the nature of this deal package, mainly in the interests of African and other developing countries. Remembering that they need a large amount of food,” Putin said.
He emphasized that Russia will decide on further participation in the grain deal “only depending on whether all its requirements are fully met.”
Putin also said that in the event of withdrawal from the grain initiative, the Russian Federation would provide grain to Africa for free.
Recall, on March 18, it was learned that Ukraine reached an agreement with Turkey and the UN to extend the grain deal for another 120 days. Russia said it extended the grain deal for just 60 days.
The Russian Foreign Ministry published a list of requirements for the “grain deal” and threatened to withdraw from the agreement if they were not met.
