Speaking to the Turkish broadcaster Tv100 on Wednesday, Cavusoglu said that these countries also want the Ukraine conflict “to prolong”, and that they think the longer Moscow’s special military operation continues, “the weaker Russia will be.”
“Judging by what our Turkish colleagues, on whose territory the coordination center [on the grain deal] is located, are saying, they expect that deliveries, at least from Ukraine, will begin in the near future,” Rudenko pointed out.
"If we talk about the episode that you mentioned, and which took place in Odessa, then there is nothing in the obligations that Russia took, including within the framework of the agreements signed on July 22 in Istanbul, which would prohibit us from continuing a special military operation, destroying military infrastructure and other military targets,” Lavrov underscored.
