Russia Remains Stable Grain Supplier, Fulfills All Contract Obligations, Kremlin Says
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia remains a stable grain supplier and do not use grain exports to make importers dependent on it, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday, commenting on EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell's remarks alleging that Russia supplies cheap grain to developing countries to make them dependent.
Media has reported that Borrell had sent a letter to developing countries and G20 members, urging them to express a united position on the Black Sea Grain Initiative. The EU official stated that Russia wanted to supply grain to developing nations to make them dependent on Moscow.
"It is absolutely not true. Russia has always been and is a reliable supporter even with existing issues. It will remain [a reliable supplier], Russia us fulfilling all its obligations. And it could be doing more to meet growing demand if it were not for illegal sanctions that we have to face," Peskov told reporters, commenting on Borrell's statement.
The Black Sea Grain Deal, signed by Russia,
Turkey, Ukraine and the UN in July 2022 to grant a humanitarian maritime corridor for ships exporting food and fertilizers from Ukrainian ports, stopped operating from July 18.
However, within the framework of the Second Russia–Africa Summit, Russia expressed its readiness to continue grain and fertilizers
procurement to African countries on commercial basis and free of charge.
On Monday, it was announced by Russian state-owned United Grain Company that
it had delivered more than 100,000 tonnes of grain to African countries since the start of the 2023-2024 agricultural year, which began on July 1.
