Russia's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday dismissed the U.N. bid to revive the Black Sea deal as "a new dose of promises."
It also publicly outlined the proposals made by Guterres in his letter to Lavrov: "reconnecting a subsidiary of the Russian Agricultural Bank to SWIFT, creating an insurance platform, unblocking the foreign assets of Russian fertiliser producers and enabling our ships to enter European ports."
"In exchange, they want Russia to guarantee that the Black Sea Initiative resumes immediately and in full," the ministry said in a statement.
