Ukraine rejects the easing of sanctions against Russia in exchange for the resumption of the grain deal.
A representative of the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oleg Nikonenko, stated this on Facebook.
& #8212; The position of the Ukrainian side remains unchanged: the weakening of part of the sanctions regime against the Russian Federation in exchange for the restoration of the grain deal will be a victory for Russian food blackmail and an invitation to Moscow for new waves of blackmail, — the message says.
Nikonenko stressed that “the international community should work to return Russia to fulfilling its obligations, and not increase its sense of impunity and encourage new aggression by offering concessions&# 8221;.

— Ukraine, as one of the guarantors of global food security, is ready to continue exporting grain to world markets, in particular to countries in Africa and Asia, both within the framework of the Black Sea Grain Initiative and through alternative routes in the Black Sea and by land, — added a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Earlier, the German publication Bild reported that the UN is allegedly considering serious concessions in sanctions against the Russian Federation in order to unblock the grain deal.
It is noted that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres sent the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry A letter to Sergei Lavrov with four proposals that should lead to the restoration of the Black Sea Initiative.
