News from Al-Madinah: Ukrainian Foreign Minister Demetro Couliba said that today, Saturday, when Russia suspended its participation in the grain export agreement, Moscow poses a threat to global food security and worsens famine.
He added that Russia is seeking to close the grain corridors on a false pretext, calling on the international community to pressure Moscow to return to the grain exports agreement.
Following the attacks on ships in the Crimea, the Russian Ministry of Defense had earlier today announced that Russia has suspended its participation in the deal to transfer agricultural goods from Ukrainian ports, which had been broken by the UN.
Additionally, it declared that early on Saturday morning, Ukrainian soldiers attacked Black Sea Fleet ships in Sevastopol, the largest city in the Crimea, which was part of Russia, using drones.
According to a statement from the Russian Defense Ministry, “the Russian side suspends its participation in the implementation of the agricultural products export agreements from Ukrainian ports in light of the terrorist act carried out by the Kyiv regime with the assistance of British experts against the ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civil ships involved in ensuring the insurance (grain corridor).”
These comments followed the ministry’s announcement that the majority of today’s drone attacks had only caused “slight damage to Russian mines.”
Notable is the fact that thanks to the deal reached on July 22, Ukraine was able to resume grain and fertiliser exports across the Black Sea, which were halted on February 24 when Russia invaded its neighbour. The agreement duration of 120 days was agreed upon in theory.
