The grain deal can hardly be implemented without Russia and it is becoming riskier by the environment, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the International news media on Monday, 31st October.
“In conditions when Russia speaks about the difficulty of ensuring safe shipping in indicated regions, such deal certainly can hardly be implemented. It acquires a different nature, much more risky, dangerous and non-guaranteed,” Peskov said.
Exactly the actions of Kyiv imperiled the deal, the Kremlin Spokesman said. Russia continues contacts with Ankara and the UN through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Peskov added, commenting on the intention of Turkey to proceed with the implementation of the grain deal without Russia’s participation.
