The permanent Russian UN representative Vassily Nebenzia said last Tuesday that the West was acting dubiously in connection to the Ukrainian grain deal.
According to the senior diplomat, no Russian ship has left port yet, which leads to suspicion about whether the West is sincere.
Russian Officials React to the Deal
The grain agreement with Kyiv was an element of a deal that would have permitted Russia to ship food and fertilizer straight to customers worldwide, but this hasn't happened yet, reported RT.
In a press conference in Nebenzia, he announced that no Russian vessel had been allowed to leave port, even after a deal struck by the UN and Turkey to access the Black Sea for grain consignments from Ukraine in return for the lifting of trade restrictions on Russian grain.
This has led to hints that Moscow might decline to renew the agreement if the conditions relating to its exports are not met.
It is supposed to last four months. Consequently, it officially ends in November. In a typical situation, the Ukrainian grain deal should be extended.
Nothing will be ruled out in light of the findings or due to the West acting dubiously, noted CSM Times.
The Russian UN representative continued: "Moscow wants the Russian portion of the accord to be actually implemented." But this hasn't occurred yet.
Sergey Lavrov, the foreign minister of Russia, made similar arguments last Tuesday when he asserted that Western nations have already broken their pledge to eliminate secondary import bans on Russian grain and fertilizer, restricting their ability to enter the global market.
To keep safe transit routes, the arrangement to open the Black Sea to grain exports was signed in July at an UN-mediated dialogue in Istanbul.
Mevlut Cavusoglu, the foreign minister of Turkey, clarified that grain shipments from Ukraine haven't yet encountered any challenges in late August.
He also mentioned that vessels have been able to pass through.
After Russia started its military operation in the nearby state in late February, wheat shipments from Ukraine, a major producer, were halted.
Both sides have accused the other over who has the most fault in the ongoing failure of the grains deal.
However, since August 1, when port deliveries resumed, approximately 2 million tons of food have been shipped to foreign markets.
The West Does Not Fulfill Its End of the Grain Deal
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov queries why the western deal's guarantors have not complied with the agreement's provision of access to the global market, per Good Word News.
He explained last Tuesday that Western nations have still not kept their commitment to lift the embargo on Russian grain and fertilizers to enable them to access global markets.
The agreement was part of one that was mediated by the UN and Turkey and approved in Istanbul in July to facilitate the opening of Ukraine's grain exports and relieve a rising world food recession.
He maintains that exaggerated Western assertions that Russian activities in Ukraine have jeopardized the security of the world food market, he maintains, are demonstrably false.
It was pointed out during a joint press conference with his Thai counterpart, Don Pramudwinai.
To ensure the UN carries out its obligations under the Istanbul agreements, Russia will keep collaborating with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and his staff.
Russian UN representative Vassily Nebenzia has said that the West acting dubiously regarding the Ukrainian grain deal is untoward and could end soon.
