Deputy head of Russia's Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said on Sunday that Moscow would terminate the Black Sea Grain deal if the Group of Seven countries banned exports to Russia, APA reports citing Teletrader.

Medvedev's statement comes after the Japanese Kyodo news agency claimed last week that the G7 is considering a very broad export ban to Russia in response to its military operation in Ukraine.

As the clashes along the southeastern front continue, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin admitted last week that China's proposal for halting the conflict could become a baseline for peace negotiations.

In its 12-point proposal, Beijing called for a ceasefire last month in return for the West lifting sanctions against Russia and urged all sides to abandon the Cold War mentality.
