This was stated by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, who spoke to the delegates of the 14th annual Aspen Security Forum via video conference yesterday, BTA reported, citing Ukrinform. “We are really looking for ways (to unblock the Black Sea Grain Initiative – note ed.). We spoke with UN Secretary General António Guterres, I personally spoke with him. I spoke with President Erdogan to discuss the crisis. We see ways out of it. If we succeed, if Erdogan succeeds, if the UN becomes even stronger, I think we will all witness a successful development of things,” said Zelensky.
He emphasized that the Black Sea does not belong to the Russian Federation: “Ukraine, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria are there. We are talking with all the countries of the Black Sea region. We have substantial pragmatic human relations and, what is very important, legal relations with everyone except Russia. Russia considers the Black Sea to be purely Russian,” Zelensky said.

At the same time, the president noted that both society and the army in Russia lack motivation and unity, as the Russian Federation cannot achieve victories on the battlefield or in the economic sphere.
The Ukrainian leader also urged the world not to lose unity, which is a must for winners in today’s reality.
Ukrinform recalls that on July 22, 2022, in Istanbul, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the United Nations signed agreements to unblock Ukrainian ports and to resume the export of Ukrainian grain. Three Ukrainian ports – Odessa, Chernomorsk and Pivden – were unblocked for the passage of civilian vessels. Within the framework of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, not only grain was exported by sea, but mineral fertilizers were also exported. For overall supervision and coordination of implementation of these arrangements, a Joint Coordination Center was established in Istanbul, which operated under the auspices of the United Nations. On July 17, Russia announced that it was suspending its participation in the agreement with Turkey and the United Nations on the Black Sea Initiative for the export of grain, Ukrinform recalls.
