🎙 Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov spoke with RT on a number of topical issues:

#West

💬 The US and other Western countries are making mistake after mistake. In general, their path in recent years is a path of mistakes and suffering. Suffering... in the inability to combine their ambitions, their arrogant expectation that everyone around them should obey them, and what they see in practice. Someone once used the expression "impotent rage" to describe this situation. I don't want to used this kind of cliché, but facts remains facts... this is something that could be described in terminology as a dangerous mixture megalomania with inferiority complex.

#InstanbulAgreement #GrainDeal

💬 Our firm position of what led to the collapse of the agreement of last year and cause the impossibility of continuing that part of these agreements, was stated by the Russian MFA. We had warned the UN and their leadership as well as our foreign partners about this for many months. This goes to demonstrate their inability to fulfil their part of the agreement.
#Opinion by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov

💬 There were outcries about the Black Sea Initiative, saying that everyone will die now. First of all, the part that was being implemented, the Ukrainian part − only three percent of the grain supplied to the markets went to the poor countries on the World Food Programme list. The rest ended up in countries with above-average income, which have the funds and can purchase whatever they want.

☝️ We will compensate for this three percent that ended up in Africa during the period when the Ukrainian part of the deal was in force. We will supply these volumes and even increase them.

Why 260,000 tonnes of fertilisers have been sitting around in the northern ports of EU countries since 2022, when Africans need them? By seizing them the Western countries are violating all conceivable norms of international trade, but we are supplying these fertilisers to African countries free of charge.
