russia has sent the UN a list of requirements, in case of non-compliance with which it threatens to withdraw from the agreement on grain exports from the Black Sea, which expires in November. Gennady Gatilov, russia's permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, said.

"If we see nothing happening on the Russian side - exports of russian grain and fertilizers - then, sorry, we will have to look at it differently," Gatilov said.

Asked whether russia might not support the extension of the "grain agreement," he said that "there is such a possibility."

"We are not against grain supplies, but this agreement must be equal, it must be fair and honestly implemented by all parties," Gatilov explained.

Commenting on the statement, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called on the world to give a clear response to russia's blackmail.

"I call on all states and organizations to make it clear to Moscow: the blackmail must stop and russia has no right to endanger millions of people. My call especially applies to states that depend on Ukrainian grain exports," he wrote on Twitter.
