According to the proposal, Qatar will pay Moscow for the delivery of Russian grain to Turkey, which will then distribute the crop into "needy countries". However, neither Qatar nor Turkey agreed with the idea of the Russian Federation. It is expected that the Russian Federation is expected that the Russian Federation will make this proposal at a summit with the leaders of African countries in St. Petersburg, which will take place next week.
Putin also plans to talk about it with Turkey President Recep Taiip Erdogan in August. It is reported that Ukraine's supporters are convinced that Moscow's proposal is in fact a way to put additional pressure on Kiev during the export of grain from the occupied territories. "Last time, when they discussed it, we had very strong suspicions that the grain would actually be stolen from Ukraine," said a high -ranking EU official.
According to journalists, a similar proposal of the Russian Federation was put forward last year. Yes, Moscow had to send up to 1 million tons of grain "on preferential terms" to Turkey. Qatar had to pay the bill, and the grain would then be distributed between the countries of Africa. It should be reminded that on July 21, the White House called the most likely path of export of Ukrainian grain. According to John Kirby, grain from Ukraine will probably be exported by land paths.
