Negotiating a mediated agreement United States and what allows the safe export of Ukrainians grain from the Black Sea ports are scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, with the participation of all interested parties, a high-ranking official Ukrainian.

“Negotiations are scheduled for tomorrow. All sides … we hope to get results,” the source told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Negative messages from Russia

Russia, which invaded Ukraine last February, hinted that it would not allow an agreement reached last July to go beyond May 18 because a number of demands to ease the export of its own grain and fertilizer had not been met.

As one senior Russian diplomat in Washington even put it, there is no progress in removing barriers to grain and fertilizer exports due to the West’s “sanctions strategy”, which includes restrictions on processing bank payments, supplies, insurance, etc. .
