Russia has rejected all options for a grain truce in the Black Sea — Bloomberg

Russia has rejected all proposals for a grain deal that could allow agricultural exports to resume via the Black Sea. Ukraine’s Minister of Agrarian Policy, Taras Vysotsky, told Bloomberg this. According to him, Kyiv received this information from countries that had attempted to establish a dialogue with Moscow.

“All possible rounds of negotiations have been tried, but to no avail,” and there are currently no signs that a grain truce could be reached in the near future, Vysotsky added. “Unfortunately, it is difficult to imagine any possible solutions to this issue in the coming months. We really need to prepare for the situation to remain as critical as it is now,” he noted.

This was reported by Bloomberg.

Ukraine may surpass Russia in grain exports for the first time.

As a reminder, on September 13 in New Delhi, Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia—the aggressor state—proposed that the BRICS countries create a common grain market and a new insurance mechanism. He also called on the group to adopt a comprehensive approach to addressing global challenges.

Ukraine, Latvia, and the United Kingdom plan to announce next week the signing of a memorandum on verifying the origin of Russian grain that may be transiting through Baltic ports.
