Russia said that it was aware of the concerns of African nations following Moscow’s decision to leave the Ukrainian Grain Deal which ensures countries in need get deliveries. Russia reiterated that the African countries would not lose out on getting access to food.
Russia, a spokesperson said, would be ready to reimburse the countries in most need with the approximate amount of grain that passed last year under the Black Sea Initiative. Russia is reported to have set aside over 900,000 tonnes of grains to be exported to African countries. He also assured that additional measures are taken to meet fully the demand of the countries so as to obviate any negative fallouts.
Moscow had for months complained that a related agreement on allowing the export of Russian food and fertilisers had not been honoured. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia would consider returning to the deal if its demands were fully met, saying the agreement had lost all meaning since only one part of the truce has been honoured. The grain deal, brokered by the UN and Turkey, had enabled the export of more than 32 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain over the last year.
