“Loosening the sanctions regime against Russia in exchange for reviving the grain deal will be a victory for Russia’s food blackmail, and an invitation for Moscow for new waves of blackmail. It is crucial to bring Russia back to its obligations, not increase its sense of impunity,” spokesperson for Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Oleg Nikolenko made a post on his Twitter account, APA reports.

“As one of the guarantors of global food security, Ukraine stands ready to continue exporting grain to world markets, in particular to countries in Africa and Asia, both within the framework of the Black Sea Grain Initiative and via alternative routes in the Black Sea, and by land,” Nikolenko tweeted.
