Ukraine and Western countries have accused Russia of blocking ports and hindering food transportation. Russia denied the interference in Ukraine's exports, accusing Ukraine with mines in the Black Sea Water and endangering navigation safety. Russia continues to export grains to the outside world, emphasizing that the safety of grain shipping vessels will be ensured.

Russia and Ukraine are in the wheat harvest season. From July to November each year, it is usually the busiest period for grain traders to import new grains.

In addition, the President of Russia will meet in the Iranian capital De Helan on the 19th. The ultimate goal of Turkish President Erdogan is to promote Russian President Russia's interview in Istanbul.

Russia began a new round of negotiations in Istanbul on March 29, but the negotiations were later interrupted. Gutres warned on the 13th that "there is still a long road to go to Russia and Ukraine to end the conflict and reach a peace agreement. (Bao Xuelin)
