Moscow Urges West To Facilitate Russian Grain Export

Moscow insists on West to help Russian export of grain

Moscow 12 August : Moscow has asked Western nations to help in the complete execution of the Istanbul grain agreement, which also includes exports of Russian fertilisers and food items.
The set of agreements does not only allow export of grain through three Ukrainian ports, but also provides for the promotion of Russian food and fertilisers on international markets that is not yet implemented, according to Ivan Nechaev, Deputy Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday.

“We hope that all the provisions of the agreements on food are executed in totality and Western countries will set the conditions necessary for the access of Russian fertilizers and food products to the global market,” Nechaev told a briefing.

On the 22nd of July, Russia and Ukraine independently signed a document in Istanbul with Turkey as well as with the United Nations on grain and fertiliser exports from Ukraine and Russia.

The delivery of Ukrainian grain to Black Sea ports started on August 1st, Xinhua news agency reported.

“Unfortunately there isn’t one vessel with (Ukrainian) grain has yet made it to the shores of the countries that are starving in Africa or South Asia.

They mostly headed towards Western ports,” the diplomat told reporters.

He claimed that the cargoes are composed mostly of sunflower oil and corn and not wheat, calling into question the credibility of Western statements that the global food security is contingent on the Istanbul deal.
