The agreement between Ukraine, Turkey and the United Nations on the Black Sea Grain Initiative remains in force, so our state is ready to continue the work of the Grain Corridor. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday during an interview with African media representatives. “We had two agreements: Ukraine, Turkey, UN, other agreement - Russia, Turkey, and the UN. Therefore, when Russia says it stops (agreement. - Ed.

The President stressed that Ukraine for its part did not disrupt the arrangements. He expressed the belief that even without the participation of the Russian Federation it is necessary to ensure the work of the "grain corridor".

“Even without the Russian Federation, we need to do everything so we can use this corridor. We are not afraid. We were approached by companies that owners of ships. They said that if Ukraine is released and Turkey is missing, then everyone is ready to continue the supply of grain, ”said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"I ordered our Ministry of Foreign Affairs - after the official signal of the Russian Federation - to prepare our official signals for the United Nations and Turkey in order to respond to me as the President of Ukraine, that they are ready to continue our initiative," he said . The Head of State stressed that Russia blocks the work of the Black Sea Grain Initiative in order to pressure the world market of agricultural products.
