The Kremlin announced on Monday that it would not renew the Russian-Ukrainian grain deal on the Black Sea that expires at midnight, adding that Moscow was ready to immediately return to the deal if its conditions were met. Von der Leyen wrote in her post: EU is working to ensure food security for the world’s vulnerable people, and will continue to deliver agri-food products from Ukraine to global markets with the help of solidarity bands.
It functioned as a corridor of solidarity
The agreement, signed in Istanbul in July 2022 and renewed twice, allowed Ukraine to export its grain through the Black Sea despite the Russian blockade. Last year, nearly 33 million tons of grain left Ukrainian ports. Moscow claims that it faces obstacles in its own food and fertilizer deliveries, which are also part of the agreement. At the same time, he claimed that the stated goal of the agreement, which enables the delivery of cereals to needy countries, is not being realized.
