Lavrov seems to have already agreed with the UN
The corresponding cynical statement was made by Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov following talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri.
In particular, Lavrov noted that the UN Secretary General undertook to lift the illegal sanctions imposed by the West on the movement of Russian grain. We are talking about logistics and financial transactions.
“We'll see how he fulfills his obligations,” the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
Ambiguous article on the shelling of the port in Odessa

By the way, earlier the UN disowned the protection of Russia in its criminal attacks on the port of Odessa. We are talking about an article by The New York Times, where, citing its own unnamed UN sources, they emphasize that Russia did not technically violate the grain agreement signed in Istanbul with a missile attack on the port of Odessa.
They say that Russia did not promise not to to shell parts of Ukrainian ports that are not directly involved in the export of grain. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry sharply criticized the article.
Briefly about the “grain agreement”
On July 22, Ukraine and Russia signed separate agreements with Turkey and the UN on safe export of Ukrainian grain from ports. The agreement will pave the way for significant grain exports from Ukraine.
The very next morning, the Russian army fired rockets at the port in Odessa, near which the grain was located. This despite the fact that the Kremlin undertook to ensure the security of the ports.
Fortunately, the grain was not affected, and our state is preparing to export it.
