Russia is ready to return to the grain deal if seven conditions are met
[REGNUM] Russia is ready to return to the grain deal if seven conditions are met
Washington , July 22, 2023, 00:24 - IA Regnum. Russia's seven requirements must be met by the West in order to return to the grain deal, Dmitry Polyansky , Russia's first deputy representative to the organization, said at a meeting of the UN Security Council.
The first condition is the withdrawal from sanctions of supplies of Russian grain and fertilizers to world markets. Secondly, restrictions on Russian banks and financial institutions serving food and fertilizer supplies should be lifted, the diplomat said.
According to Polyansky, the third condition is the need to resume deliveries to Russia of spare parts and components for agricultural machinery, as well as the fertilizer industry.
Resolving issues with the charter of ships and insurance of Russian export food supplies, ensuring the logistics of food supplies is the fourth condition.
Fifth, it is necessary to create unhindered conditions for expanding the supply of Russian fertilizers and raw materials for their production, including resuming the operation of the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline.
As the sixth requirement, Polyansky called the need to unlock all Russian assets related to the agricultural sector.
The restoration of the original humanitarian nature of the grain deal, which should work in the interests of countries in need, and not provide for rich countries, called the final, seventh condition, the first deputy representative of the Russian Federation to the UN.
If all the stated points are fulfilled, Russia will return to the grain deal, Polyansky added.
As IA Regnum reported, on July 17 Russia officially notified the UN, Turkey and Ukraine of the suspension of the grain deal due to the fact that none of the promises made by the Russian Federation a year earlier had been fulfilled. At the same time, Moscow withdrew guarantees for the safety of navigation in this corridor in the Black Sea.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on July 19 that Russia might consider returning to the grain deal, but only after all the promises it made a year ago are fulfilled.

London says it sees no need to revise grain deal
The British authorities "see no need" to revise the grain deal, Barbara Woodward, the country's permanent representative to the UN, said on July 21.
“This is a great deal and it worked. There is no reason to rewrite it,” Woodward told reporters.
She also stated that London does not want the Black Sea to turn into a war zone.
On July 17, Russia formally notified the UN, Turkey, and Ukraine of the suspension of the grain deal due to the fact that none of the promises made to Russia in the summer of 2022 were ever fulfilled.

Experts say that without a grain deal, Ukraine's exports will be halved
After Russia withdraws from the grain deal, the export potential of Ukraine will be halved, from 7-8 million tons per month to 4 million tons, Bloomberg reports on July 21, citing data from the analytical company Argus Media.
The closure of the Black Sea route will force Kyiv to look for new ways, but all of them are longer and more expensive, experts stated. For example, the route across the Danube will not be able to be fully used due to the drop in the water level in the river due to the heat, the publication says.
“This will deal a serious blow to one of Ukraine’s largest income items,” analysts said.

The Ukrainian authorities have previously expressed their readiness to continue to supply grain through the previous corridor without the consent of Russia. At the same time, Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, admitted that under the current conditions, no country would send ships to ports controlled by Kiev, since no insurance company would insure them.

Italian Defense Minister admitted that 95% of Ukrainian grain goes not to Africa
95% of the grain that Ukraine exported under the grain deal was not sent to Africa, but nevertheless, the cessation of these supplies could lead to problems on the African continent and these problems could also affect Europe, Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said in an interview with La Stampa on July 21 .
“Everything is interconnected. 95% of grain from Ukraine was exported outside of Africa, but when these countries do not have this grain, they start looking for it elsewhere, which cannot but lead to an increase in world prices. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Africa to buy it,” the minister said.
He explained that these processes could destabilize the already difficult situation in African countries, and this crisis could spread to Europe.
Earlier, the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, criticized Russia for withdrawing from the grain deal, calling "meaningless" statements by Moscow's representatives that the West did not fulfill Russia's promises when concluding the deal.
