The dispute over the grains of Ukraine who was trapped threatened to overshadow the meeting of the G-20 Foreign Minister in Bali this week.
US Foreign Minister Antony Blinken is trying to conduct a pressure campaign in Russia to allow food exports to reach hunger populations throughout Africa and the Middle East, complicated efforts by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov presence at the meeting of top diplomats from the world’s leading economy. Western officials also plan to encourage Moscow’s insistence that Western sanctions must be blamed for the growing global food crisis.
Moscow denied that it was a food weaponry to suppress other countries to remain silent about war, but often suggested that it would only send food exports to “friendly” countries. Diplomatic duel campaign means the G20 group is impossible to issue integrated calls to condemn the role of Russia in the food security crisis. But the increasing tension can cancel the fragile talks to end the Russian Navy blockade in Ukraine ports and release more than 20 million tons of seed exports.
U.N and Turkey each trying to mediate the discussion to restart the export of the seeds of Ukraine. But Turkey’s status as a neutral partner in the conversation now seems to be in danger compromised in the eyes of Ukraine officials. Kyiv has summoned the Turkish Ambassador in Ukraine after Ankara released a Russian-flagged cargo ship which according to Ukraine authorities was filled with “stolen” Ukraine wheat-Stolen and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Ukraine which was estimated to have stolen at least 400,000 tons from the country since February to February. invasion. Threatening development will damage the relationship between Ukraine and Turkey in a very sensitive time, only a few days before the round of other discussions that may be in Istanbul which aims to free millions of tons of food exports.
US officials are also preparing a potential meeting in the coming days, according to two people. But it is not clear whether Russia or Ukraine will agree to attend. Western leaders have suggested plans to guarantee a safe path for Ukraine food exports through the Black Sea are ready, but requires the final agreement of Moscow.
Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has openly refused to say whether Ukraine will attend the possibility of talks in the coming days.
US officials are not directly involved in negotiating with Russia to reopen the Black Sea for Ukraine’s food exports but they have stepped very carefully in the midst of the ongoing conversation and are being briefed on the development by US officials.
We think all preparations are already there and they can be immediately concluded, if Russia is running,” Jim O’Brien, Head of the Department of Foreign Affairs Sanctions Coordination and High Official Supervisory Efforts to Unlock Ukraine’s Food Exports, said in an interview.
Russia seems to at least place Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a prominent player in talks to mediate an agreement to free Ukraine’s agricultural exports, in a very difficult place. The Ukraine authorities asked Turkey to investigate whether the stolen grains came to the Turkish ports long before the Russian-flagged ship first left the Ukrainian Port, which was under Russian control, at the end of June. European officials said they were looking for whether Ankara drove from Western sanctions.
