Kremlin is looking for an excuse to terminate the agreement on the export of grain from the ports of Ukraine
The 100-day grain agreement expires on November 19, and it is very important for Ukraine to ensure that the work of the “Grain corridor” continues in winter, spring and summer. However, this is very annoying for the Russian authorities, since it exported only 4.4 million tons of grain in September. Obviously, now the Kremlin is looking for an excuse to terminate the agreement on the export of grain from the ports of Ukraine, signed on July 22 in Istanbul by representatives of Ukraine, Turkey, the UN and Russia.
