The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russia's resumption of the grain deal did not mean that it was automatically extended, and that the results should be evaluated before a decision was made.įor his part, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow was satisfied that the Ukrainian leadership had signed guarantees that humanitarian tracks would not be targeted for military purposes, as he put it.Īs for Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar - whose country is participating in the implementation of the grain agreement - he said that the Ukrainians gave verbal and written guarantees for the continuation of the agreement, adding that Kyiv pledged to observe the terms of the agreements reached.
Moscow demanded written guarantees from Kyiv, and confirmed that it had already obtained them, yet Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to withdraw again if the guarantees were breached. Russia had justified the suspension of its participation in the agreement by Ukraine launching an attack by planes and drones on the Russian fleet in Crimea via the same path taken by ships loaded with grain, while Kyiv accused it of using a "false excuse" to withdraw from the agreement, which is supposed to be renewed on November 19. The ministry published a video clip showing the export process from the ports, and explained that since August 1, Ukraine has operated 430 ships carrying 10 million tons of Ukrainian foodstuffs. The Ukrainian Ministry of Infrastructure announced that 7 ships left the Ukrainian ports on Thursday, carrying 290,000 tons of agricultural products. This allowed many ships to depart from Ukrainian ports. Kyiv manufactures the "dirty bomb".ĭays after suspending its participation in the grain agreement that was signed under the auspices of Turkey and the United Nations last July in Istanbul, Russia returned to participate in the agreement Russia said on Thursday it did not specify its position on the possibility of extending the grain deal, which expires soon, at a time when shipments of agricultural products resumed normally from the ports of Ukraine, while the International Atomic Energy Agency said it had not found evidence to support Moscow's accusation of authorities.
