The United States authorities support Turkey’s efforts to organize grain export from Ukraine by sea, but they believe that there is no clarity, whether they are crowned with success. According to TASS, this was announced on Thursday by the coordinator for strategic communications in the National Security Council (SNB) of the White House John Kirby.
He was asked to comment on the situation around the export of grain from the territory of Ukraine. “Of course, this would help if Russia stopped what, in fact, is a blockade in the Black Sea and the blockade of Odessa, which they (the Russian Federation – Ed.), Obviously, do not show desire to shoot. Turkey conducts consultations with Russia about this . We certainly welcome the participation of Turkey and its attempt to help to achieve some agreements on the transportation of grain by sea. But I think that it remains to find out if this will take the effect, ”Kirby said.
