Quote from Zakharova: "If we're talking about the 2022-2023-style unilateral scheme, better known as the Black Sea Grain Initiative, under which Moscow suspended hostilities in the Black Sea – or, more precisely, response measures to protect Russian port infrastructure and energy facilities – then returning to that option makes no sense. The condition for implementing the agreement was equivalent reciprocal steps from the other side, and those simply never happened."
