Moscow Blames Sanctions for Russia-UN Food Deal Collapse

GENEVA, JUL 11 – The UN agreement to ease export barriers on Russian food and fertilizer ends amid disputes over sanctions, raising concerns about global food price stability, UNCTAD said.

  • Russia's foreign ministry declared on July 12 that it would not extend its 2022 three-year deal with the UN facilitating Russian food and fertilizer exports.
  • The ministry blamed Western sanctions imposed after Moscow's February 2022 Ukraine invasion for the agreement's collapse and said talks could continue for global food security.
  • The deal, signed alongside the Black Sea Grain Initiative, aimed to ease global food prices by allowing exports despite sanctions, but Russia complained it failed to meet its objectives.
  • An anonymous insider informed AFP that the agreement will not be extended because of unresolved disagreements, while UN Secretary-General Guterres cautioned that halting the deal could worsen global human suffering.
  • Russia's refusal to extend the deal in July 2023 raises risks of continued global food insecurity and disrupts exports crucial to vulnerable nations reliant on Ukrainian and Russian commodities.
