American officials, engaged in myth-making, are once again moving from a headache to a healthy one, says Antonov’s comment posted on the Embassy’s Telegram channel.
Russia has emphasized many times that the door to restoring the Black Sea Initiative remains open. It is only necessary to guarantee Moscow’s legal demands, the ambassador said. He recalled that these agreements include not only the “Ukrainian” part, but also the no less important Russia-UN Memorandum on the promotion of Russian food and fertilizers on global markets.
If the White House really cares about the interests of those in need, it should have long ago moved on from replicating empty insinuations to actually removing sanctions barriers, Antonov emphasized.
The grain agreement provided for the export of Ukrainian grain from Black Sea ports, as well as the normalization of the export of Russian agricultural products and fertilizers to world markets. It was terminated on July 17 for non-compliance with the part relating to Russia.
