I do not exclude that the UN secretariat is also He experiences the strongest impact from those who want to carry out external management of the organization, ”Lavrov said in an interview with the National State Television and Radio Company of Belarus.

“This situation creates problems for many developing countries. The UN Secretary General delays the food crisis with its actions, makes it possible to quickly send grain there. This is regrettable,” the minister emphasized.

“Russian President Putin explained in detail to him in detail that there is an elementary path that is now without any negotiations, memorandums – the path through Belarus. For this, you only need to ensure all logistics and financial chains. There are other more costly food delivery routes through Romania, Poland, ”said the Russian minister.

At the same time, he assigned responsibility for the blockade of Ukrainian ports to Kyiv. “As for the ports, they are not blocked by us. Our armed forces have been announcing safe corridors from the mined territorial waters of Ukraine to the Bosphorus Strait since March. They are ready to cooperate with the Turks. But for this, Ukrainians should do this. They do not want to do this,” said this, “said Lavrov.

“At the same time, Gutherrish is trying to solve the issues of the withdrawal of grain from Ukrainian ports without taking into account the corridors announced daily. He wants to agree on the Ukrainian grain first, then about the Russian one. No one will rush us anywhere,” said the Russian Foreign Ministry.
