Kremlin Comments on Problem of Transporting Ukrainian Grain

Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin Spokesperson said that there are still no clear positions on the plan to transport grain from Ukrainian ports.

"There are still no clear forms. Ukraine should remove mines at the entrances to its ports, which will allow the ships to enter the ports, load grain, and then head toward international waters," Peskov told reporters on Tuesday.

The Kremlin spokesperson referred to a statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin that Russia will not use the corridors liberated from mines to conduct any offensive actions.

"There are statements of distrust on the part of the Ukrainian representatives, we have heard such statements," he added.

The UN announced more than once the danger of a food crisis in the world due to the lack of grain. The West accused Russia of obstructing Ukraine's grain supply to world markets.

On its part, Moscow rejected these accusations completely. Nevertheless, the Kyiv authorities themselves put many obstacles in the way of exporting their grain.

In addition to burning the warehouses with grain in the port of Mariupol, the Ukrainian forces planted mines in the waters of the Black Sea, which impedes the transportation of grain to world markets by sea.
