MOSCOW, September 9. All conditions for the resumption of the grain deal by Russia are well known, they need to be fulfilled, said the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov.
““The President of Russia clearly stated, that the conditions are well known, they have been agreed… Now it is said that the Westerners are ready to allegedly promise to open SWIFT for a subsidiary of Rosselkhozbank. The fact is that the agreements say that SWIFT should be open for Rosselkhozbank, and not for the subsidiary. That is, the speech, of course, the point is that we need to return to the basics of those agreements that were initially and which we were promised to fulfill a long time ago,” he said.
Peskov recalled that at the moment when the conditions concerning Russia are fulfilled, then the country's participation will be resumed.
«We consider ourselves in the right and consider ourselves obligated to first wait until it is completed, and then resume this deal. All conditions are well known. They do not need any distortions or interpretations. They are absolutely specific and all this is absolutely feasible,” he said.
Russia, according to Peskov, maintains its consistent position on this issue.
