Russian Deputy Foreign Minister: Problems with bank payments and logistics are exacerbated. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia said that the grain deal will have to look for alternatives if the Russian Agricultural Bank is not connected to SWIFT.

Russia's permanent representative to the UN said the West hypocritically declares that there is no permission to export food and fertilizers. The Chinese authorities hope that the deal will be implemented in full, according to the Russian diplomat who was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
