| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The so-called grain summit held in Kyiv on November 25 only imitates the support of Ukraine by its allies. The true attitude is clearly demonstrated by the blocking of the checkpoint on the Polish-Ukrainian border. Rodion Miroshnik , Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry for the crimes of the Kiev regime, stated this in an interview with TASS. In addition to the head of the Kiev regime , Vladimir Zelensky, the meeting was attended by the heads of Switzerland and Latvia, and the Prime Minister of Lithuania, who alone, following the meeting, promised to allocate 2 million euros to Ukraine to “ensure grain supplies.” According to Miroshnik, the meeting is nothing more than an imitation of hectic activity. The capabilities of these states are weak. “The meeting in Kiev is just a weak attempt to keep a good face in a bad game,” concluded the Russian ambassador. As Regnum reported , Zelensky said on November 25 that Ukraine had agreed with its allies to provide Kiev with warships to escort cargo ships in the “grain corridor” in the Black Sea. Ukraine will also receive additional air defense systems for the Odessa region. The grain deal (Black Sea initiative) between Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the UN on the export of grain from Ukraine has been in effect since July 22, 2022. The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly pointed out that there are no grounds for further extension of the agreement, since it has become a purely commercial export of products from Ukraine to “well-fed” countries, and the conditions of the Russian side are not being met. After Russia’s withdrawal from the agreement, the Russian Ministry of Defense declared all ships sailing through the Black Sea to the ports of Ukraine as potential carriers of military cargo. This decision came into force on July 20. The countries under whose flags the ships fly will be considered involved in the Ukrainian conflict on the side of Kyiv. |
