The decision was made due to attacks on ships of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, the Defense Ministry explains

Moscow has halted its compliance with a grain deal with Kiev, brokered by the UN and Türkiye, after Ukraine launched a major drone attack on ships involved in securing safe passage for agricultural cargo, the Russian Defense Ministry announced on Saturday.

In a post on its Telegram channel, the ministry said Russia “is suspending its participation in the implementation of agreements on the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports”.

It explained that the move was prompted by “a terror attack” against the ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civilian vessels involved in ensuring the security of the grain corridor. The ministry also alleged that the bombing was organized with the involvement of British military.

The UK Defence Ministry has denied any involvement in the Ukrainian drone attack on the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, claiming that Moscow “is resorting to peddling false claims of an epic scale” in an effort to distract the global community from “their disastrous handling of the illegal invasion of Ukraine.”

“This invented story, says more about arguments going on inside the Russian Government than it does about the West,” it added.


Commenting on Russia’s decision to suspend the grain deal, Andrey Ermak, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s chief of staff, accused Moscow of “blackmail.”

“Russian blackmail is primitive across the board: blackmail in nuclear, energy and food field,” he stated, adding that all supposed Russian ploys are “too simple and predictable.”

Earlier on Saturday, Russia's Agriculture Minister Dmitry Patrushev signaled that Moscow is ready, with Türkiye’s help, to send the world’s poorest countries up to 500,000 tons of grain within the next four next months.

He noted that considering this year's harvest, Russia “is fully ready to replace Ukrainian grain” and arrange deliveries to “all interested countries" at a reasonable price.

“The grain deal not only did not solve the problems of countries in need, but even aggravated them in a sense. We can see where the ships from Ukraine were heading – Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands. For some cargoes, the share of EU countries ranges from 60 to 100%. These are not the states that are experiencing a real food problem,” the minister said.

Russia earlier warned that it could quit the grain deal if an agreement to ease restrictions on its food and fertilizer exports were not implemented. Moreover, following the blast on the strategic Crimean Bridge, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that if turns out that Ukraine – the country that Moscow accused of carrying out the attack – used grain corridors to transport explosives, “it would put the very existence of these corridors in question”.

The breakthrough deal between Moscow and Kiev was reached in Istanbul in July with mediation by the UN and Türkiye. It aimed to unlock agricultural exports via the Black Sea from Russia and Ukraine – two of the world’s leading grain exporters – which had ground to halt due to the conflict between the two nations.

The repercussion of this will be massive. I know surely, it was a trap set for them by Putin. And they fell into it stupidly as expected just like the crimean bridge.

Putin will not retaliate like the missile rain in the crimean bridge issue. The plan is to cut off grain supply entirely, let the US its allies beg for mercy. This will take hold of them, and they will start focusing on survival of their own not sending weapons to ukraine.


Since the nord stream pipe was blown off. Have you heard of germany making any sound?

That is the plan. Russia will purposely slack a little, be off-guard purposely...Set them up and make them think they are lucky to be able to destroy something of russia. They will fall into the trap. And russia will use the excuse to deal with them.

sure, air raid don sound all over Ukraine right now, it’s gonna be a long night for em. Of all places na ship wey wan carry grain you go strike…. That was a beautiful trap mehn

Well it’s done already

War time fallout. More hunger for Africa. Especially the east and north where they consume wheat alot.

Africa would send another AU representative to Russia to lick Putin's balls to allow grain export from Ukraine

This is what happens when useless leaders can't grow crops in Africa despite the fertile land. Corruption keeps embarrassing and disgracing Africa.

It was a futile attempt, but the grain deal is gone for good

Russia have harvest over 500k tone promised to send it to poor nation free with the help of turkey. And will cover the Ukraine grain exports at a very affordable price to other countries. Russia just want to use this opportunity to be the major exports of grain.

Bolded - Good initiative.

However, just like other major producers like Ukraine, Canada, USA, France, Australia, Argentina e.t.c Russia is already a major exporter of grain. The world needs as much amount of grain it can get. That 500,000 tonnes promised by Russia (even though free) in the next 4 months to poor countries is quite small.

Other major grain exporters would not be able to fill the void that would be left by a blockade on a major food exporter. The void would still be felt in the poorest countries of the world - reason why the African Union went begging Putin earlier this year. Ukraine alone has a 10% share of global wheat and meslin export and exports around 20million tonnes of same.

To put things in perspective, Cameroun alone consumes 1million tonnes of wheat per year and that's just one subset of grain, and Cameroun is not even a major grain consumer like some Asian, East African and North African countries.

Well - it's a war situation, and there would always be casualties even far away from the conflict zones as we have seen. On the brighter side, this may be a blessing in disguise for Africa. Maybe this would wake African leaders up from their deep slumber.

Africa need to wake up, it's time we stop acting like spoilt kid.. We need to stop waiting for crumbs everytime..

I pray they wake up quick. A continent with so much potential but deep in sleep. Africa remains a net importer of food, although it has 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land. A whopping 60% and we have seasons suitable for farming all year round, unlike Europe that only has a few weeks or at best a few months of the year.

They lied Africa is dying of starvation.
But yet Africa never receive any grain

I pity my fellow african man that supports this people.

I can’t believe I agree with you for the first time on this section…. Na like this we suppose dey rob minds instead of calling ourselves derogatory names, cos no be our country or continent dey fight war, though we are affected but not directly. This na good time to learn, cos this is history right in front of our eyes. Nice write up bro. I hope others will learn from you. Well, me I’m not always aggressive, I’m eager to learn new things and I do accept whenever I fvck up.

Good morning.

Read the article well. The problem is not Russia but EU. They deliberately diverted all the ships carrying grains to European countries alone and refused to allow any come to Africa. Those bastard's know send us at all.

Yes true talk. Very detailed
