"Very difficult at this stage": The diplomat told whether the Russian Federation could be returned to the grain agreement

According to Parliamentary David Garland, the next grain agreement may be larger. It can be associated with the end of the war. Russia will be difficult to return to the grain agreement at this stage. This was stated by the Executive Director of the Center for Humanitarian Dialogue David Garland in an interview with CNN. According to him, having left the grain agreement, the Russian Federation made a very "dramatic" move. "It will be very difficult to return Russia to the agreement.

Now they went very far," Garland said. According to him, there is no optimism in this matter. He noted that this is the worst moment in the history of the Black Sea initiative. Garland noted that the Russian Federation controls the northern part of the Black Sea. Therefore, without its "consent" it is impossible to continue the supply of grain from Ukraine. The future agreement will be completely different, since the Kremlin has made too much to go back. "I doubt we will return to that.

I think there will be something serious next time, probably in the context of an agreement that will put an end to the war," he said. However, according to the diplomat, it is likely that under the pressure of Turkish President Recep Taiip Erdogan and the leaders of the countries who are directly suffering from the lack of grain, Kremlin head Vladimir Putin will agree to "humanitarian supply".

We will remind that earlier the media wrote that Turkey is likely to refuse the idea to accompany vessels with Ukrainian food within the framework of "grain initiative". As long as the Ukrainian authorities continue to work to organize the work of the "grain corridor" without Russia, insurers and shippers do not believe in success. The Ministry of Agrarian Policy also explained how grain initiative could work.
