Podolyak announced the conditions for signing the agreement.
Delegation Ukraine, which arrived in Turkey to sign an agreement on the export of grain by sea, which is located in local ports, refused to approve the document. The reason was called the signature of Russia.
According to the head of the administration of the Ukrainian president Mikhail Podolyak, the delegation will not sign the document if there is a Russian visa on it.
According to RIA Novosti, a representative of Ukraine said that Kiev would not sign a direct agreement with Moscow.
He suggested a different option.
“Our country will sign an agreement with Turkey and the UN, Russia will sign the mirror document,” he said.
It is known that the head of the Ukrainian delegation in Ankara is Infrastructure Minister Alexander Kubrakov, who previously held a meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutteris.
The latter will be one of those who will sign the agreement. Russia is represented at the meeting by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
According to Podolyak, the vessels will be checked by general groups, and the inspection itself will take place if such a need arises during the passage of Turkish waters.
The Ukrainian representative stressed that Kiev would not allow the transport escort of the Russian Navy, as well as the fact that Russia was in Ukrainian ports.
“In case of provocations, an immediate military response,” RBC quoted him as saying.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that Zelensky announced progress on grain more than a week ago.
