It really complicates this process. This may complicate the implementation of the Russian part of the Black Sea initiative, the Black Sea agreement. But, nevertheless, the contacts, as we said, are continuing, will continue because, yes, the agreement has been extended for 2 months, but 2 months is quite a short period, it will end quite quickly”, Peskov told reporters.Last week, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the grain deal had been extended until July 17 without any changes, but if all the problematic issues of the initiative, including the reconnection of the Russian Agricultural Bank to the SWIFT system, were not resolved in two months, it would be terminated after July 17. In an interview with a Russian newspaper published earlier today, the business spokesperson EU Foreign Affairs Peter Stano said the bloc could only restore access to the SWIFT payment system for Russian banks, including the Russian Agricultural Bank, after the deal has been reached by Russia , Ukraine, Turkey and the UN on July 22, 2022 to provide a humanitarian sea corridor for vessels carrying food and fertilizer exports from Ukrainian Black Sea ports.
