[HIGHLIGHTS] The UN said that operations with Rosselkhozbank can be carried out outside the SWIFT system

UN will continue to make every effort to ensure supplies to world markets, including through the Russian Agricultural Bank. EU does not intend to reconnect Russian banks, including Rosselkhozbank, to the SWIFT system until the conflict in Ukraine is resolved.

Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that UN Secretary General António Guterres was faced with an unconstructive position of the West on the grain deal. The UN will continue consultations with representatives of the EU, Great Britain, the United States, and Russia on this issue.
