The letter was written on the eve of a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said he had sent Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov “certain proposals” aimed at continuing the grain agreement. This was reported by Reuters.
Guterres’ letter came on the eve of a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
“I believe that we have presented a proposal that can be the basis for a continuation, but a continuation that must be sustainable. We cannot have a Black Sea Initiative that goes from crisis to crisis, from suspension to suspension. We must let’s have something that works and works for the good of all,” said Guterres.
At the same time, the Russian diplomat, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the agency that the letter of Guterres Lavrov “does not contain any revelations” and that it “summarized the previous ideas of the UN that did not work. “
“We have specific solutions… to ensure better access of Russian food products and fertilizers to world markets at adequate prices. I believe that by working seriously, we will find positive solutions for all,” the UN Secretary General. said.
It will be recalled that the previous day, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, who is visiting Russia, called for the continuation of the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
In July, the Russian Federation announced its withdrawal from the grain deal, which was valid for one year and allowed Ukrainian food to be exported from Black Sea ports. Russian troops began shelling Ukrainian ports and grain infrastructure in southern Ukraine.
