Moscow: Russia has withdrawn from the grain export agreement through the Black Sea. With this, the global food crisis will gain momentum. Russia accuses Ukraine of destroying the bridge from Russia to Crimea. But Russia has already warned that it will withdraw from the agreement.
The Black Sea Agreement came about after Russia agreed to ship grain from Ukraine to various parts of the world via the Black Sea after the war. If Russia withdraws from this agreement, it will mean that Russia will no longer provide security for grain ships crossing the Black Sea from Ukrainian ports.
Crops in Ukraine include corn, wheat, soybeans, etc. According to the report of the World Food Program under the UN, grain from Ukraine feeds 400 million people around the world. Most of these went to Africa, the Middle East and other developing countries.
After the start of the war, Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement after prolonged UN intervention. Russia has threatened to withdraw from the agreement whenever it faces setbacks in the war. But countries including Turkey and South Africa intervened and persuaded Putin. Russia’s withdrawal came just one day before the deal was to be concluded.
At the same time, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that even without Russia, he will do what is necessary to send grain through the Black Sea corridor and cannot intimidate Ukraine. The spokesperson said that the companies and ship owners have been approached and they have informed that they are ready to move cargo if Ukraine and Turkey give permission.
