According to him, the initiative has a package character.
A part of the transaction, which is connected with the export of Ukrainian grain, is being carried out.
Whereas Russia cannot be satisfied with the results of the agreements on the unhindered access of Russian agricultural products to world markets, Vershinin emphasized.
“Therefore, adjustments are needed, as I said, and continuation is needed, taking into account the experience that we have,” TASS quoted him as saying.
Otherwise, the diplomat added, Moscow should ask itself a question: why then is all this being done?
“For commercial purposes, for political purposes, or in order to really ensure global security in the world and take into account the interests of the world's poorest countries?” Vershinin summed up.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that most of the more than 13 million tons of grain, primarily corn, went to rich countries.
On December 5, Vershinin said that Western countries still do not fulfill their promises regarding the access of Russian fertilizers and agricultural products to the markets.
In November, President Vladimir Putin announced Russia's readiness to supply grain to the poorest countries even if it withdraws from the food deal.
