Medvedev shouted to the G7: or will end the Black Sea Food Agreement

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev said on social media platforms on the 23rd: "The idea of the G7 on a complete ban on exports to our country is good, because it also means that the G7 will stop importing goods from our country, including commodity categories that are vital to the G7." In this case, the food agreement and many other commodity exchanges they need will be terminated. ”

According to Reuters, Japan's Kyodo News Agency previously quoted Japanese political sources as saying that G7 countries are considering a near-total ban on exports to Russia, and Russia is using the termination of the Black Sea grain agreement as a "threat".

The Black Sea grain agreement expires on 5 May this year. According to CNN, the G18 called for the extension and expansion of the Black Sea Grain Agreement on the 7rd. (End)
