UN, March 18 – RIA Novosti. US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas Greenfield told a UN Security Council meeting that the sanctions do not interfere with the export of Russian food and fertilizer. Regarding anti-Russian sanctions, she said, the United States “has gone to great lengths to explain to governments and the private sector” clear sanctions exemptions for foodstuffs and fertilizers. “To put it simply, it’s not about sanctions,” she added. Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said the United States, London and the EU had two months to lift all sanctions that hamper agricultural exports from the Russian Federation, and that the poorest countries have only received about 3% of supplies, not 65-66%, under a food deal, as the Security Council has declared. The groceries (or grain) agreement, which was signed on July 22, 2022 by representatives of Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the UN, involves the export of grain, food and Ukrainian fertilizers across the Black Sea from three ports, including Odessa. The Joint Coordination Center (JCC) in Istanbul is responsible for coordinating the movement of vessels. The contract expired on November 18, 2022, but meant an automatic 120-day extension until March 18, if either party did not object. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that “no such objections have been received”, while noting that the Russian side allows a technical extension of the “Black Sea Initiative” for the export of grain Ukrainian without any change in terms and scope. The agreement itself is an integral part of a comprehensive agreement which, among other things, provides for the unblocking of Russian exports of foodstuffs and fertilizers, Moscow noted that this was precisely what had not been put in place. work. At the same time, the UN assured that the restrictions would be lifted.
