Russia allegedly "considers the possibility" of returning to the "grain initiative" if its conditions are met

The Russian Federation is allegedly "considering the possibility" of returning to the "grain initiative" if its conditions are met. On July 17, the Russian Federation unilaterally withdrew from the Black Sea Grain Agreement.

This was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the propaganda media outlet TASS.

Putin said that Russia would return to the agreement if the Western countries fulfil a number of requirements. Among them:

  • removing Russian grain supplies from sanctions;
  • connecting Russian banks to SWIFT and "ending all restrictions";
  • resumption of the Togliatti-Odesa ammonia pipeline;
  • resumption of spare parts supplies for agricultural machinery.
