Russian President Vladimir Putin called it “disgraceful” to leave the agreement allowing grain exports from Ukraine. US Vice President Joe Biden agreed.
In his remarks to reporters, he continued, “There is no reason to do so.
This called on the United Nations to do everything possible to maintain the agreement related to the export of Ukrainian grains, after Russia announced the suspension of its participation in it due to a drone attack targeting its ships in Crimea.
According to Stephen Dujarric, a spokesman for the UN Organization, “it is crucial for all parties to refrain from any work that would put the grain agreement in the Black Sea at danger.” He emphasised that this agreement has a “good influence” on securing food for millions of people throughout the world.
Following a drone attack on Russian ships in the Crimea, Russia said that it would no longer be taking part in the arrangement that secures the continuous shipment of Ukrainian pharmaceuticals, a crucial source of food for developing nations.
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, attempted to restrict the nations that might accept the shipments of the agreement in accordance with this agreement, which is sponsored by Turkey and the UN, and permitted Ukraine’s grain exports, which had ceased since the start of the war last February.
Russia said earlier on Friday that only 3% of food exports that take place within the scope of a deal in which the United Nations has mediated the transfer of grains from Ukrainian ports go to the poorest nations, and that 50% of the shipments go to Western nations.
Washington calls Russia’s decision to leave the grain pact a “disgrace.”
