Lavrov: We support the revival of the cereal agreement

reports Mehr News Agency Referring to the Moscow -Washington talks in Riyadh, Russia said Russia supports the restart of the Black Sea initiative.

“We support somehow revitalizing the Black Sea initiative; Of course it is suitable for everyone.
“Our position is obvious; We can’t count on this man’s words. Russia wants to be predictable to the cereal market and the fertilizer market, and no one will try to remove Russia from these markets. Moscow is concerned about food conditions in Africa and other countries in the South world that are affected by Western games.

Cereal agreement aimed at providing a secure corridor for export of Ukrainian grains through the Black Sea ports as well as facilitating export of agricultural products and fertilizer Russian fertilizer. However, most of the Ukrainian grains were exported to European countries, while the main purpose of the agreement was to ensure cereals for the needy countries, which of course failed. Also, the obligations to Russia were not fulfilled under the agreement, and as a result, Moscow was out of the agreement in July.
