| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] The Russian Federation violates the terms of the Black Sea Grain Initiative and does not allow ships to export grain from Ukrainian ports, said Matthew Miller, head of the press service of the US State Department . Threats to withdraw from the deal could lead to rising global food prices and reduce its availability for those in need, a US official said. Miller said the US is urging Russia not to interfere with global food supplies. As IA Regnum reported, the Black Sea grain initiative on May 18 was extended for another two months. The Russian Foreign Ministry hopes that the leaders of Western countries will reconsider their unconstructive position, otherwise the deal will not be extended in the future. On May 23, UN Secretary General António Guterres confirmed that negotiations on issues not yet resolved within the framework of the grain deal are ongoing. |
