After withdrawing from the grain agreement, the Russian terrorist country attacked the ports of Odesa and Mykolaiv

Once again, the Russian Federation showed itself as a terrorist state by attacking the port of Ukraine in order to create a crisis in the world food market and increase the number of refugees from African countries to Europe. At the same time, it insists on the fulfillment of its demands for the legalization of the territories captured in Ukraine and the pushing back of NATO's borders.

Yesterday, the Russian Federation notified Turkey, Ukraine and the UN about the withdrawal from the grain agreement, the closure of the maritime humanitarian corridor in the northwestern Black Sea and the restoration of risks to shipping. It also sent a letter to the international maritime organization with a warning about the withdrawal of previously provided guarantees of shipping safety.

During the period of validity of the grain agreement, merchant vessels entering the ports of Ukraine were to be insured against the risks caused by military actions. Now insurance companies will begin to refuse to insure ships moving to the Black Sea ports of Ukraine, therefore the Ukrainian authorities should provide such insurance from the budget and try to establish the work of the corridor without the participation of the Russian Federation, but with the help of the UN, Turkey and other countries interested in restoring international shipping in the Black Sea.

On the night of July 18, the Russian Federation again attacked the south of Ukraine. Although the defense forces shot down 6 Kalibr missiles and 25 drones, their debris damaged the port infrastructure and nearby private houses. With this attack, the Russian Federation once again confirmed that it will continue its aggression if its conditions are not met. But the civilized world has already realized that negotiations with the aggressor make no sense, so it is necessary to proceed to active actions aimed at eliminating the terrorist country.

For example, after the withdrawal of the Russian Federation from the grain agreement, the USA, the EU and Great Britain can cancel several general licenses (6B and 6C licenses of the USA, two general licenses of Great Britain, several exceptions from the 9th package of EU sanctions), which facilitated trade in Russian food and fertilizers, so that reduce export earnings of the Russian Federation.

Formally, the export of agricultural products and fertilizers from the Russian Federation within the framework of the grain agreement is not subject to sanctions, but restrictive measures may apply to services related to the transportation of such goods, cargo and ship insurance, and financial transactions. Earlier, several operators and carriers refused to cooperate with Russian exporters due to the risks of being sanctioned. But the UN, while implementing the memorandum of understanding with the Russian Federation signed at the same time as the grain agreement, insisted on the issuance of general licenses by Western countries, and declared that companies are not threatened by Western restrictions.

Therefore, the exit from the grain agreement will harm the export of grain and fertilizers from the Russian Federation more than the export of grain from Ukraine, since domestic traders have already established stable routes for the export of fertilizers and grain through the western borders and ports of the Danube.
