Zakharova Says Ukraine Thwarted Grain Deal

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman stated that the UK-led regime of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy has sabotaged the grain deal to add food blackmail to nuclear blackmail.

"The grain deal was thwarted by Zelensky and his terrorists, led by British spies, to add food blackmail to the nuclear blackmail," Maria Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel on Sunday.

She addressed accusations by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba that Moscow allegedly sought to transfer to other countries 500,000 tons of grain, most likely stolen from Ukraine.

Zakharova noted that Ukraine does not have enough money and weapons. 

"They need more deaths. The Kyiv regime stands on this hellish throne: money, weapons, death."

The Russian diplomat stressed that Moscow had long offered to transfer its own fertilizers for free to the countries in need, which has been repeatedly stated by both  President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

"Also, Russia is ready to donate up to 500,000 tons of its grain to the poorest countries," Zakharova mentioned. "The Kyiv regime, out of its own greed, is unwilling to give anything to everyone, even when others are giving to others."
