According to him, the UN will continue to make every effort to ensure supplies to world markets, including through the Russian Agricultural Bank.
"There are opportunities to conduct these transactions outside the SWIFT system," TASS quoted Dujarric as saying.
He stressed that the UN will continue consultations with representatives of the EU, Great Britain, the United States, and Russia on this issue.
Earlier, EU foreign policy spokesman Peter Stano said that the European Union does not intend to reconnect Russian banks, including Rosselkhozbank, to the SWIFT system until the conflict in Ukraine is resolved.
Later, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that UN Secretary General António Guterres was faced with an unconstructive position of the West on the grain deal.
