He noted that Russia under any conditions remains a responsible participant in the world market.

“We intend to continue to conscientiously fulfill our obligations under international contracts in terms of the supply of agricultural products and fertilizers,” TASS quoted him as saying.

According to him, the Russian side is well aware of the importance of these goods for the socio-economic development of many of its friends and partners, the achievement of food security indicators and the achievement of sustainable development goals.

Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov denied accusations against Moscow of provoking a food crisis.

UN Secretary General António Guterres at a meeting of the UN Security Council announced the need to return to the world markets of products and fertilizers from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
