The Russian side will suspend its participation in the “grain deal” if sanctions are not lifted on Russian agricultural exports

The Russian side intends to suspend its participation in the "grain deal" from May 18 if the conditions that take into account Russian interests are not met, in particular regarding the lifting of sanctions imposed by the West on Russian agricultural exports.

In a statement released by the Russian Foreign Ministry, it is said that the Russian government has decided to reduce the period for the next prolongation of the deal by up to 60 days, that is, until May 18. Provided that there is no progress in the implementation of the Russian part of the deal, Russia's participation in it will be suspended. The corresponding position of the Russian government was officially communicated to the UN, as well as the Turkish and Ukrainian sides.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also stressed that, contrary to the initial statements of the parties to the "grain deal", only 3% of the grain exported from Ukraine was delivered to the starving countries of Africa. In the event of withdrawal from the "grain deal" Russia will supply grain to Africa for free. This statement was made against the backdrop of the Russia-Africa Forum taking place in Moscow.

In March this year, Russia extended the "grain deal", but not for 120 days, as expected, but only for 60 days. The term of the agreement, concluded earlier, expired on March 18.

For its part, Russia has fully fulfilled its obligations under the agreement concluded in July last year, which provides for the export of Ukrainian grain and other agricultural products through the Black Sea seaports, including Odessa. Despite this, the UN promises regarding the lifting of restrictions on the export of Russian agricultural products have not been fulfilled.

Now the authorities of the country declare that the deal will not be extended again if the operation of the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline is not restored by May 18, the connection of Rosselkhozbank to the SWIFT system is returned, supplies of agricultural machinery and spare parts for it are restored under previously concluded contracts, accounts are unblocked of Russian companies involved in the export of food, the bans on insurance of Russian fertilizers and agricultural products have been lifted, the bans on the entry of Russian ships with agricultural cargo into a number of world ports have been lifted.

And we have to wait until May 18, but it’s impossible to voice it right away.

[paul3390]

Necessary. May 14 elections in Turkey. Which from these transactions has not a weak gesheft. Erdogan, of course, is not a friend of ours, but his opponents seem to be even more trenchant. So - as I understand it, the extension for exactly two months is actually support for the Sultan.

[Quote Lavrov]

You are very wrong to think so. Just the same, it was the main opposition candidate who immediately condemned the downing of our plane and, in general, the campaign against Syria. Therefore, he has been proving for years that he is much more loyal to us than Erdogan.

[topol717]

Yes, there are no friends there, and there cannot be. Each country has only interests.

[Egeny]

So there was no need to trust the "partners" in the deal at all. Once again, we were "shod".)
What kind of traders in the ministry... if only they didn't sign for kickbacks.
It was necessary to invite the market mafia, it would be more useful.)

[zloybond]

It's not only strange. For example, based on data on the harvest (And I generally judge by my grain lands) - We see on the face - a record harvest. For example, I keep the price of an egg released to the market without changing it for 2 years (yes, probably more). It is a problem to sell grain - they take it not expensive, and they are not in a hurry. And then I go to Magnit today - they write the SOCIAL price for an egg (the countryside, moreover, the Krasnodar Territory) - 85 scars. !!! A month ago, the price was SIGNIFICANTLY lower. And even less on New Year's Eve. What do we have???? Poultry feed prices up at record pace? Or Magnet beguiled the shore???? And it's not just the egg. Milk jumped up. Against the backdrop of this wild rise in prices, I do not understand the victorious penny percentages of "official inflation". And with all this, some kind of sweet silence of the lambs. No one itches on the basis of what the population was given another rip-off?
Although there is an opinion that by asking big business to bring more money into the budget, the government turned a blind eye to price hikes in chain stores .... But this is my opinion ... but still ...

[seacap]

It is necessary to feed the "starving and frozen" gay Europeans so that they do not need anything, otherwise the last villas will be taken away. And in general, we are not like them, we are good, we are the only laws and treaties in the world that we comply with. We, the "stupid kid", are slapped on the cheeks by impudent goons and spit in the face, and we, smearing snot, invite them to look into our pockets, to rummage there.

In 60 days, the PRC will take everything of its own from Ukraine - will it be in time? And then at least the grass will not grow.

And then it will be possible to stomp your foot, draw another red line and temporarily exit the deal in order to let yourself be convinced again by the next cleaning company and start exporting.

[tralflot1832]

In order to export something, Ukraine must first sow. The agro-complex of Ukraine is provided with fertilizers only by 30%.

[Egeny]

In 60 days...

For 60 days it is necessary to take Odessa and Nikolaev ports ...

[Trapp1st]

Why 60 days, better 6...

[Asad]

How to take the Odessa port if an ammonia pipeline goes to it? What if they damage the park?!

What if they damage the park?!

What does "suddenly" mean?

Get started.

[Quote Lavrov]

And how many times has it gone for 60 days, can you tell me? And it was precisely the last 60 days that weren’t enough, but this time everyone will definitely have time to take them out, right?
I have always believed that my country first of all thinks about itself, and not about China, for example. By the way, why are you so short-sighted that you will not say otherwise - for another 60 years the Kiev regime will receive currency from our ally. And what do you think, where will Ukraine send the currency all these even 60 days? Is it not for new purchases of weapons against us? But its certainly more important to you, right?

Do you think we could replace Ukraine in these deliveries? Yes, for sure, China would have bought from us. And so .... another one-sided and empty statements from you. No more.

The Russian side intends to suspend its participation in the "grain deal" from May 18 if the conditions are not met

Fairytale incompetence.

One photo is worth a lot ... well, who knows the Russians.

[blackGRAIL]

There is no uninhabitability here at all. But there is something for which our partners hold us for Faberge in the situation with the grain deal. We can only guess what it is ... for example, the inspection and forced confiscation of the cargo of our ships coming from the Black Sea or Erdogan's multi-vector approach ...

[ximkim]

So why lie then?
And without Russia, this deal will work.

[Egeny]

And without Russia

maybe there will be, but the corridor - no.

[Roma 1977]

If Russia announces a naval blockade of Ukraine?

[solar]

What's next? Sinking Turkish ships with grain? And if their ships will be accompanied by the Turks?

[blackGRAIL]

Then the ships that organized this blockade will follow Moscow. Russia took the Black Sea Fleet to the base after the death of Moscow and long before the grain deal, and it was no longer included in the zone of destruction of the Ukrainian anti-ship missiles.

[telemech]

Do we have a Black Sea Fleet?

[rocket757]

The Russian side will suspend its participation in the “grain deal” if sanctions are not lifted on Russian agricultural exports

. That is, again a deception ... oh, how unexpected it is !!!
However, a deal with ... not with dbalo, of course, just with scammers, petty ... what result should be expected ???

[Rumata]

You say, from May 18? Let me ask you modestly, what year?))))

There is a number, you can put the year yourself, you won’t be mistaken.

[tralflot1832]

I didn’t understand that you don’t want our agricultural producers to work, only at the Novorossiysk terminal the price of grain 2-3 classes is 14 rubles per ton, and everywhere it’s even less. We do not have 500st class in commercial quantities, last year the Siberians only collected 1st class, and then only 1 tons.

[_Ugene_]

The Russian side will suspend its participation in the “grain deal” if sanctions are not lifted on Russian agricultural exports

and Turkey will again stop the export of sanctioned goods, and again we will agree?

[Xnumx vis]

Let's wait till May 18th and see. In the meantime, the conditions for stopping the transaction are announced, the counter is turned on, the clock is ticking. Africa is benefiting from the cancellation of the deal ..

[Roma 1977]

Europe will also benefit from the cancellation of the deal. Crickets will eat more. It's also eco-friendly.

[tralflot1832]

Don't touch the crickets when they chirp it for money. Cockroaches are the best, we can Prussians, we can export Russians. In Argentina, I saw such a cockroach in my cabin, I wanted to slam a pack of cigarettes, but I realized it wouldn’t break through, I had to burn out 42 sizes - there is a penetration.

[Alex Nevs]

And crickets and maggots ... There are many more different crawling .. Soon the raven will remember, though it was a long time ago.

[Saburov_Alexander53]

Crickets will eat more. It's also eco-friendly.
Last year there was a report that the Dutch government allocated 60 billion euros to reduce the number of cattle. The goal is to reduce the release of methane into the Earth's atmosphere ... I waited a long time for a refutation or clarification of the figure, but did not wait ... Maybe they changed their minds and learned how to replenish their gas storage facilities after the explosion of the joint venture?

[parusnik]

Everything will be like in that joke: A Jew crosses the state border of the USSR. There is a shout:
- Stop! Who goes!
- Sha! Sha! Sha! Nobody is going anywhere!

[far diu]

This is a great move. The West will lift sanctions because it will not be profitable for them if Russia strategically supplies grain for free, thereby pulling influence in Africa over itself.

[solar]

only 3% of the grain exported from Ukraine was delivered to the starving countries of Africa. In case of withdrawal from the "grain deal", Russia will supply grain to Africa for free

I don't get it, what's the point? Ukraine does not supply grain to Africa, so Russia, out of spite, will supply it there for free?
I remember the story with my mother and ears ...

against the backdrop of the Russia-Africa Forum taking place in Moscow

Just yesterday, photos of the participants in this forum were published on VO.

Good flip flops. A gift from the organizers of the forum?

[the same doctor]

Cowards and traitors! The grain deal should be canceled not if, but UNTIL the sanctions on Russian agricultural exports are lifted. It's better to cancel altogether. Pay for the surplus grain from the reserves of the Central Bank and give it to our livestock breeders.

[fa2998]

And with what fright should Russia supply grain to Africa for FREE? That our people live abundantly, richly ??? Simple bread is constantly rising in price. What is better quality is recorded in the "elite" and the price is pumped up. A lot of "cut" their "farm" - it's expensive to feed. And to Africa, you're always welcome!

[Gardamir]

And with what fright should Russia supply grain to Africa for FREE?

So the Kremlin decided.

[Castro Ruiz]

Delivery of goods, short grain Africa free of charge. This is by tradition. :)

[far diu]

Do you really not see this as a strategic move? If Russia supplies grain to Africa for free, then it will increase its influence in Africa, and this, in turn, will provide lucrative contracts for the extraction of minerals, the deployment of military bases (if necessary) and much more. Russia will recoup these investments dozens of times if it does everything smartly. So for once this is a wise enough decision and only superficial people do not understand this.

[DymOk_v_dYmke]

Russia will invest (dear Russians), and investments in the pockets of "very expensive" Russians will be beaten off.
Over and over again, this will be repeated as long as capitalism rules in the Russian Federation.

[far diu]

I write again that if you do it smartly, then investments will pay off dozens of times. Grain is a strategic resource for Africa, and in return, Africa will provide the extraction of resource deposits on preferential terms. As a result, Russian companies will increase profits on this, and from this profit they will pay a tax that will go to the budget, which, as a result, the cost of grain will quickly pay off. Is it really that hard to understand this basic logic?

[Saburov_Alexander53]

Is it really that hard to understand this basic logic?
I ruthlessly plus you, but if I hadn’t lived so long ago and didn’t see what such shura-mura with Africa led to. After that, they forgave all the local "cannibals" billions of dollars of debt. I would like to believe that this will not happen again and our behavior after May 18 will be the best example.

[Quiet Don]

And if these companies do not make a profit, then for "dear * Russians they will raise prices and increase taxes, we know, they passed ...

[ximkim]

Quote: Roma-1977

Will not announce.
For this, the navy is needed.
And in general - there is a blockade or it is not. And events show that there is no blockade of Ukraine.

[Ural resident]

So it seems that initially only about 60 days it was said, where did 120 come from? Or is it again one thing for the people, and another behind the scenes?

[Eug]

When are the elections in Turkey, May 14? And if "partner" Erdogan does not win, then what?
And in general, how is it - sanctions on agricultural products and related products have not yet been lifted, and the "grain deal" is being extended for the SECOND time? Who will respect something after that?

[Fima]

Nothing will be unblocked, even more than that, the ICC will issue additional warrants for the arrest of all ministers, deputies, senators, governors of the Russian Federation.

[sofkar]

published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, it is said that the Russian government has decided to reduce the period

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on March 18 announced the extension of the grain deal. His speech in the city of Canakkale in the west of the country was broadcast by the TRT channel.
“The term of the grain deal, which expires on March 19, has been extended. We provided prolongation for a new term of the agreement thanks to the negotiations that were held with the two sides (Russia and Ukraine. - Ed.),” he said.
https://iz.ru/1485228/2023-03-18/erdogan-obiavil-o-prodlenii-zernovoi-sdelki

“We have repeatedly stated, both the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Russian Permanent Representative to the UN, that the Russian side has notified all parties to the deal that it is extending the deal for 60 days,” she told RIA Novosti.
According to the diplomat, there are reports about the extension of the Black Sea initiative for 120 days. In this regard, she once again stressed that the deal was extended for 60 days and all parties were notified of this not only orally, but also by special notes.
https://iz.ru/1485249/2023-03-18/v-mid-rf-zaiavili-ob-uvedomlenii-vsekh-storon-o-prodlenii-zernovoi-sdelki-na-60-dnei
In the case when the terms of the transaction are not changed, to which neither Turkey nor the UN nor Ukraine agreed, then there are two options:
or the deal is extended for a fixed period - and then no decisions of the government and notes of the Foreign Ministry change anything for international law.
or it has not been extended, because it did not suit the Russian Federation, then it is no longer valid for 2 days.
We'll see, but it seems to me that the issue is closed until July.

[blackGRAIL]

With the grain deal, everything is very confused ... Russian officials tirelessly repeat that the West does not fulfill its part of the deal in opening the export of Russian grain. That Ukrainian grain goes not to Africa, but to Europe. That the insidious West deceives us all the time.

At the same time... According to the Grain Union, in the first half of the current agricultural year (July-December 2022), the Russian Federation exported 32,5 million tons of grain and leguminous crops, which is 11,6% more than in the same period of the last agricultural year. Including wheat exports increased by 12,4%, to 28,1 million tons. In January-February 2023, grain exports again break records.

It is quite possible that the condition of the deal is not the expansion of our exports (due to the "green corridor" from the West), but the absence of a blockade by the West of the existing one (it is practically the entire Black Sea). And / or Erdogan's assistance in parallel exports (this is a kind of real life road).

[Dmitry Trukhtanov]

In no case should it be suspended ... It's brilliant when a country on whose territory there is a war exports food

[Andrei Rimsky]

I will assume that by May 18, a scheme for sea mining of the Ukrainian coast will be ready under the pretext of "transportation of weapons by grain tankers." This is something that has not been publicly explained. If the conditions are not met, the mines will begin to float.

[Kronos]

How were the mines there last time after the deception?

[MBRSS]

This is correct. We should also set our own conditions for the oil and gas complex and other raw materials. And then they got really screwed over there.

[Marson35]

While the next date is far away, our Foreign Ministry is barking like that mongrel... And the time will come when it will stick its tongue in... It was already like that... Clowns.

[VladimirNET]

Note:
1. The deal has been extended - until May 18, and grain and corn are harvested in Ukraine later.
2. Russia is actually FORCING the West to lift part of the sanctions and much more, on the basis of the principle: "where ours did not disappear." )))
3. As I understand it, if OUR conditions are not met by the West and the deal is canceled: because of their own sanctions, it will be problematic or impossible to supply grain to Africa, which means that it "doesn't matter" - the West and the UN will be to blame (since I signed ).
4. And this means that already "without a deal (which will come to an end)" - these sanctions will still HAVE to be canceled by the West ...)))

[Yarik]

And then there will be another extension, and then another extension .....
