“We call on all parties to make every effort to resume the Black Sea Grain Initiative and implement both agreements as fully as possible, including the speedy removal of any remaining obstacles to the export of Russian grain and fertilizers,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the Russian authorities regularly inform the UN about the failure to fulfill the second part of the product deal, which is a package deal at the proposal of the Secretary General of the world organization.

On October 13, Amir Mahmoud Abdullah, UN coordinator for the Black Sea Grain Initiative, said that there was no 100% confidence in the extension of the food deal, but the UN hoped that the parties would find solutions.
