Russia is capable of completely replacing Ukrainian grain and is ready to supply grain to needy countries free of charge. Oleg Ozerov, Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry, head of the secretariat of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum, spoke about this in an interview with Newsweek.
He noted that Russia is ready to fulfill its obligations under international contracts, despite the interference from the EU.
“We are ready to supply Russian grain to the most needy states free of charge, as well as completely replace Ukrainian grain, which makes up only 2 percent of world production, at affordable prices to all interested countries,” Ozerov stressed.
Agreements on the export of food from Ukraine were concluded on July 22 in Istanbul. On November 17, the agreement was automatically extended for 120 days. Also in Istanbul, representatives of the Russian Federation and the UN signed a memorandum. It stipulates the removal of restrictions on the export of Russian agricultural products and fertilizers to the world market.
