The Turkish president will try to persuade Vladimir Putin to re-enter the Black Sea grain deal, which he left two months ago, claiming the West was not keeping its side of the bargain covering Russian food and fertilizer exports. , reports The Guardian.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the chief negotiator behind the initial deal signed in July 2022, has not met the Russian president face-to-face since the deal collapsed. The immediate backdrop to the meeting in Sochi, Russia, on Monday was another Russian drone attack on a Ukrainian grain-exporting port that damaged warehouses and burned buildings.
Russian drones have systematically attacked Ukraine's grain stores since Moscow pulled out of the deal, and the latest attack on the Danube river port of Izmail in Ukraine's southern Odesa region hit warehouses and production buildings. More than 220,000 tons of Ukrainian wheat have been destroyed in Russian attacks, Ukraine says.
This is the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since October, and if broader peace talks ever begin, Erdogan is likely to be a key mediator.
Erdogan's foreign policy chief and security adviser, Akif Ça?atay K?l?ç, said before the meeting: “We play a leading role here. The current status [of the wheat deal] will be discussed at the summit on Monday. We are cautious, but we hope to succeed."
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said it was a “process that tries to better understand Russia's position and demands and fulfill them. "There are many issues ranging from financial transactions to insurance."
The West says it has already issued sweeping guidelines to outline broad exceptions to its sanctions against Russia's food exports and had previously tried to reassure Putin that Russian grain and fertilizer exports were not subject to Western sanctions.
Rusia eksportoi 56 milion ton produkte drithi sipas marrëveshjes së drithit të Detit të Zi, duke fituar 41 miliardë dollarë në këtë proces, pretendon perëndimi. Por Moska tha se në praktikë kufizimet e vazhdueshme mbi pagesat, logjistikën dhe sigurimet kishin penguar dërgesat, duke lënë të paplotësuara ndërmarrjet perëndimore.
Moska gjithashtu dëshiron që Banka Bujqësore Ruse të rilidhet me sistemin e pagesave ndërkombëtare Swift. Perëndimi e ndërpreu bankën në qershor 2022 si pjesë e sanksioneve të vendosura në përgjigje të pushtimit, por kufizimet nuk zbatohen për borxhin ose kapitalin e ri.
Kremlini është gjithashtu i prirur të rifillojë një tubacion kritik të amoniakut që shkon në Pivdennyi në rajonin e Odesa-s, diçka për të cilën zyrtarët amerikanë dhe evropianë janë gjithnjë e më të hapur nëse Kievi e lejon atë, duke pasur parasysh rolin e amoniakut si një përbërës kryesor i plehrave.
Mosmarrëveshjet, që përfshijnë detaje komplekse, janë bërë një fushë beteje e rëndësishme propagandistike, ndërsa Rusia dhe perëndimi përpiqen të bindin vendet më të varfra dhe vendet më të fuqishme të Brics që fajësojnë kundërshtarët e tyre për inflacionin që rezulton dhe mungesat e grurit.
Që nga rënia e marrëveshjes, Ukraina ka dërguar tre dërgesa komerciale me grurë nga Deti i Zi pa lejen ruse përgjatë korridoreve të reja humanitare. Rusia ka kërcënuar se do të sulmojë anijet, por ende nuk e ka bërë këtë.
Rrugët tokësore përmes Polonisë që mund të përdoren për të eksportuar grurë janë më të shtrenjta, bartin më pak grurë dhe zgjasin më shumë./ CNA
