Russian President Vladimir Putin today pledged to supply grain to Africa if the export deal with Ukraine is not extended within two months of an extension announced on Saturday by his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
“If we finally decide not to renew this agreement for 60 days, then we are ready to deliver from Russia, free of charge, all the volume that has recently been destined for the most needy countries in Africa,” he said in a speech to African leaders in Moscow.
And he added that Russia “conscientiously fulfills all its obligations, both to provide food, fertilizers, fuel and other critical products to the states of the continent, thereby contributing to their food and energy security.”
