Gravitas: Russia-Ukraine discuss grain export crisis

As the war in Ukraine rages on, Russia has 'weaponised' food supplies. 22 million tons of grains are trapped inside Ukraine. On Wednesday, talks were held in Istanbul to break the impasse. Did they yield any breakthrough? Palki Sharma reports.

Russia is the world's No. 1 grain exporter, but it is under Western sanctions. Its ships are blocked, insurance companies get secondary sanctions for insuring ships with Russian food, developing countries cannot pay to Russia for the grain because it is blocked by the US from using SWIFT interbank system

[Joshua_Cares]

I sure hope Turkey, Russia, and Ukraine can reach a workable agreement on this crucial matter so that millions do not face starvation as a result.

[NTraveller]

Russia has always welcomed the passage of grain and protested against the passage of arms. Of course, Russia protests against any influx of arms into a warzone, it aggravates the war. The grain failed to pass not because the ports were "blocked by Russia", but because the only remaining port - Odessa - has been and still is mined by the Ukraine

Ukraine has weaponised Sympathy, what about that?? 😏😏

[krishnamurariprasad]

Grains can be sent to world in same way the weapons is coming to Ukraine.

[villageidiot]

Ukraine dumped lots of sea mines in their seaport, Russia blocked the entrance and exit. Its difficult to find out what is really going on. I pray the war will stop soon.

[crakermac]

Russian demands are reasonable. Anyone who denys this compromise is responsible for the starvation.

[mdfaisal]

why russia will cooperate ....? they took all the reserve currency of russia gave sanction

[modernera]

This channel went from being unbiased to selling out to the western narrative.

[saipranay]

Russian demand is fair enough it's better to say ok and stabilise food inflation immediately instead of going for Useless NATO ego and make people in other nations suffer too

How you can trust someone changes his mind all the times, like mr. Z?

[ianthesiow]

(USA) America calls it "Liberation" instead of "Invasion". That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on... Why the double standard? Confused... Please enlighten. Genuine question...

Is anyone asking Ukraine to démines port of Odessa and the portion of the Black Sea under its control ?

What about 5 million tons of wheat already shipped from Ukraine. to Europe by train and by road ?

[aggieaggie]

Just today, we heard about naval traffic jammed with 130 ships loaded with Ukrainian wheat exported to Europe by Ukraine itself. Isn’t that
enough wheat for the world ? That is
if Europe care anything really about the rest of the world.

[crakermac]

Your thumbnail is misleading, Russia is being more than reasonable

[RogueSecret]

Ukraine blokked their own ports, how hard can it be to say that with all the evience...

[cocainexxx]

Let them remove sanctions !!! Fair deal

[Blitzkers]

Why Ukraine dont use the path from where they get Weapons 😏

[pieterbarry]

Russia didn't block the ports.
This is a lie. I'm very disappointed in this channel. it was my favorite channel but it too bias.
Ukraine block their own ports with the mines.

[Blitzkers]

Ukraine have path to get Weapons but dont have way to send foods 😏
