In
the Russian Federation,
a condition was put forward for the extension of the grain initiative.
They said that Moscow will agree to this only if its own interests are taken into account.
This was announced in the press service of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The department's message emphasizes that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the aggressor country, Serhii Lavrov, and the Head of the Foreign Ministry of Turkey, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, met on March 1.
In particular, the parties discussed the prospects for implementing the grain initiative.
Thus, Lavrov emphasizes, they say, that the continuation of the "package" agreement on grain is possible only when the interests of Russian producers of agricultural products and fertilizers in terms of unhindered access to world markets are taken into account.
It will be recalled that in February
Moscow talked about the "impracticability" of extending the "grain agreement" due to sanctions.
The Deputy Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Serhiy Vershinin, stated that it is "impractical" if sanctions affecting agricultural exports are not removed from Moscow.
