Millions of tons of grain are still blocked in Ukrainian ports as a result of the war and countries in Africa and Asia are suffering from a lack of supplies.
Turkey this Wednesday offered to implement an international plan, to be agreed with Moscow, Kiev and the United Nations, to allow grain exports from both Russia and Ukrainewhich are now blocked by the war.
Russian foreign ministers, Sergei Lavrovand Turkey, Mevlut Çavusogluwho met today in Ankara believe that it would be possible to market the millions of tons of grain blocked in Ukrainian ports as Moscow facilities to export their own food and sanctions are relaxed.
Those would be some of the keys to Turkey’s proposed plan to move this food and ease the pain supply crisis countries in Africa and Asia are already suffering.
However, the terms must be agreed upon by: United Nations, Moscow, Kiev and Ankaraboth to ensure the safety of ships carrying Ukrainian grain and to facilitate logistics for ships carrying Russian agricultural products, as the two ministers announced at a joint press conference.
Ukraine maintains a cordon of anti-ship mines for the ports on the Black Sea to prevent naval landings and asks for guarantees that Russia will not attack on this flank.
“President (of Russia Vladimir) Putin has already said that, in the event that Ukraine agrees to mine the ports and let the ships out, we will not abuse this situation in the context of the special military operation being launched on the underway,” he said. Lavrov uses the official euphemism to refer to the invasion of Ukraine.
