Russia pulls out of the “Grain Deal” – Peskov

Press secretary of Russian president Putin, Dmitry Peskov, made an official statement on July 17 regarding the "grain corridor" operation, stating that Russia pulls out of the agreement.

His statement is being quoted by Russian propaganda media.

"The agreements regarding the 'Grain Deal' have practically been halted; it has been suspended," he said.

Peskov also added that Russia will immediately return to the "Grain Deal" as soon as its agreement is fulfilled. According to him, the explosion on the Crimean bridge will not affect the "Grain Deal".
