Podolyak explained what threatens the agreements with Russia/Channel 24 Collage
By launching a missile attack on the port of Odessa, Russia is at a very high diplomatic risk. Turkey and the UN acted as guarantors that Russia would not attack Ukrainian ports and would allow safe grain exports. That is, by its actions, Russia is still dealing a humiliating blow to the reputation of the countries with which it has concluded an agreement.

Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the Office of the President, announced this, he explained the key points that should be understood in the context of the grain agreements, as well as Putin's motives that guided him when he decided to attack the ports of Odessa.
5 key theses about the grain agreement
- First: Ukraine has not signed any direct agreements with Russia regarding grain. Only with Turkey and the UN – on the organization of transport logistics for 18 – 20 million tons of grain worth more than 10 billion dollars.
- Second:Russia took on specific obligations to other countries to ensure the safety of “grain corridors”, non-shooting at storage/transshipment sites and the route.
Guarantees that Russia in the grain issue will reveal at least a little sanity, are Turkey and the UN. Let's fix it,” Podolyak noted.
- Third:Russia's deliberate strike on the port of Odessa, literally a few hours after the signing of all the documents, characterizes the specific “mental state” of Russia.
- Fourth: The intention to hit the grain reserves in the port of Odessa is a direct message Russians to Arab and African countries, to the Kremlin. it doesn't matter whether they are or not.
Russia doesn't care about the authority of other states that have vouched for it
- Fifth: Russia deliberately dealt a demonstrative and humiliating blow to the reputation of Turkey and the UN.
Putin thus seemed to address them with his classic phrase: “Well, what will you do?”, Mikhail Podolyak noted.
The adviser emphasized that it was Turkey and the UN that are full “guarantors of security “grain transport corridors, and they also guaranteed the “hungry world” (not only Ukraine)” that Russia would fulfill the terms of the agreement and would not interfere in the export of Ukrainian grain.
So this story, according to Podolyak, is eloquent and useful and demonstrates how the Russian funeral team continues to hide itself fiercely.
The UN reaction to the cynicism of Russia's actions
condemnation of such attacks on the port of Odessa. He stressed that just yesterday all parties made a clear commitment on the world stage to ensure the safe movement of Ukrainian grain and related products to world markets.
Guteres also emphasized that these products are urgently needed to solve the global food crisis and alleviate the suffering of millions of people who need help around the world.
The main thing about the rocket attacks on the port of Odessa
- < li> the occupiers fired 4 Kalibr-type missiles at the port at once. 2 of these missiles hit the target. Another 2 shot down our air defense forces.
- Missiles that arrived at the port hit its infrastructure. It was in the place of impact that grain was stored, which should have been sent for export.
- This information was confirmed by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy. At the same time, they did not say how much Ukrainian grain fell under the attack of the Russians.
- Grain, after the signing of the agreement, was planned to be exported in the coming days. After all, the day before in Istanbul they signed an agreement on the unblocking of Ukrainian ports. We are talking about opening humanitarian corridors from Yuzhny, Odessa and Chornomorsk.
- While the Ukrainian side said that the attack on the port would not affect the agreements, grain is still being exported.
