UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Monday that Russia's withdrawal from the Black Sea grain pact will strike a blow to people in need everywhere.
He added that Russia's withdrawal meant that the related pact to facilitate Russia's grain and fertiliser exports was also terminated, adding that that ignoring his proposal to renew the Black Sea Grain Initiative by the Russian president Vladimir Putin is very frustrating.
Guterres pointed out that the agreement between Russia and the United Nations to facilitate grain and fertilizer exports was also terminated, expressing his regret over Russia's decision to terminate the pact.
