UN Secretary General Guterres commented on this information.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres made a proposal to mitigate the export of potash fertilizers from Russia and Belarus, demanding in exchange for the passage of grain ships from the ports of Ukraine.
Turkey and a number of other countries are also taking part in the negotiation process, as Ankara can take a direct part in the clearance of ports, as well as participate in ensuring maritime traffic.
According to sources of The Wall Street Journal, the purpose of the deal is to mitigate the food crisis, which is directly involved in Western anti-Russian sanctions imposed specifically on the export of potash fertilizers from Russia and Belarus.
And against the background of Russia’s military special operation in Ukraine, the latter had difficulties with the delivery of domestic grain to world markets.
Guterres himself, commenting on the WSJ information, only noted that at the moment discussions are really underway on this subject with the participation of Ankara and Vienna.
However, he did not disclose any details, since otherwise the agreement may be jeopardized and not happen at all.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that for the first time since the beginning of the operation, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a statement on Ukraine.
