In Zelenskiy's office responded to Putin's threats regarding the "grain agreement"

The words of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin regarding the restriction of the export of grain from Ukraine are groundless, but absolutely predictable. The Russian authorities are once again trying to remove sanctions with their blackmail.

 

 Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President, told about this in a comment to RBC-Ukraine.

 

 "Energy, nuclear, migration, grain, Zaporizhzhya-atomic and any other formats of direct blackmail periodically appear in the public rhetoric of the first persons of the Russian Federation, when something is clearly not going according to plan and it is necessary to stop Ukraine and the international community out of fear. Therefore, the current statements about the termination of the "grain agreement" are completely groundless and at the same time completely predictable. Because there is no objective basis for such actions or statements at all," said Podolyak.

 

 He emphasized that Ukraine, like the mediators of Turkey and the UN, strictly adheres to the obligations they undertook as part of the "grain initiative".

 

 "Statements that Russia cannot export its cargoes also look quite strange considering the fact that it is the Russian fleet that controls the waters of the Black Sea. That is, what can prevent the Russians from exporting grain and fulfilling their obligations except the Russians themselves "A rhetorical question," Podolyak noted.

 

 In his opinion, today Russia is nervously trying to "grope" for a new reason for another information campaign calling for the lifting of sanctions, first of all putting pressure on the UN and the recipient countries to take at least a little more "pro-Russian position".

 

 "Meanwhile, every time these absolutely predictable attempts/statements look more than dubious: Europe and the United States have already repeatedly emphasized that the sanctions do not apply to specific food items. This is first. And secondly, the recipient countries do not have any." issues with Ukraine, which fulfills its agreements as much as possible, but there are issues with Russia, which under any pretext sabotages supplies," Podolyak concluded.
