“There are no obstacles for the export of grain from our side.
And the UN representatives were given specific proposals on how this could be done, and in what quantities Russia is ready to export both grain and fertilizers, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to him, in this situation, questions are only for the Ukrainian side.
“UN members want to resolve this issue in a package, that is, the export of grain from Russia and Ukrainian grain is the second part of the package,” Gatilov said.
He also added that the Russian side in negotiations with UN representatives and other contacts emphasized that it was ready to start solving the existing problem “immediately”.
Earlier, the Armed Forces of Ukraine burned about 50,000 tons of grain while retreating from the port of Mariupol.
