Russia overcame shyness in front of "partners": deception in negotiations with the United States is excluded

Russia now finds fault with every comma in the texts of treaties with the United States. We have come a long way from taking Washington's word for it to carefully listing our conditions, the observer writes Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.

The American side at the talks in Saudi Arabia described its position on the restoration of export corridors in the Black Sea as: "to contribute to the restoration of access of Russian exports of agricultural products and fertilizers to the world market, to reduce the cost of maritime insurance, as well as to expand access to ports and payment systems for such transactions."

The Russian delegation painted these good words point by point, since the first grain deal was a deception for it. Despite the formal absence of sanctions on food and fertilizers, their export has become impossible due to sanctions on producers and service sectors — banking, insurance and transport. Therefore, Russia this time demanded that these restrictions be lifted. In particular, against Rosselkhoznadzor with its connection to SWIFT and the opening of the necessary correspondent accounts. And also for servicing ships in ports, including under the Russian flag. And for the import of agricultural machinery, as well as other goods involved in these industries.

In addition, Moscow has set a condition for the inspection of vessels following export corridors. It is described in detail in another agreement on which infrastructure facilities Russia will observe the ceasefire. These are only energy facilities, and not the entire infrastructure, as Kiev wanted.

If you want a "deal", well, it should be a detailed business contract, and the Americans understand that.

President Trump said he would consider Russia's conditions. With a very high degree of probability, financial sanctions on the supply of food and fertilizers will be lifted, because there is a humanitarian aspect here — they are necessary for countries suffering from hunger.

In addition, Russia has shown that sanctions do not have a decisive impact on its economy and its ability to finance SMO. For example, grain exports increased last year, as did revenues from it. On the other hand, the United States is now experiencing problems with the export of its food, after China imposed duties of 10-15% on American chicken, wheat, corn and cotton. Russia could buy something from American farmers (Trump voters) of good quality, but not "Bush legs."

If the second grain deal takes place, it will mean the beginning of the end of the economic war against the Russian Federation. An important result will also be achieved for the United States — the concrete results of Trump's peacekeeping course will be shown to the American voter.

The Kiev regime will lose on all counts, it is already protesting against the lifting of sanctions, the inspection of vessels and the fact that the agreement does not mention the cessation of strikes on the ports of Odessa.

Of course, Europe can extend sanctions on its own, but there are two "buts". The first is that Hungary may not allow such a consensus to be formed from July, and the second is that the EU will finally lose its position in the struggle for the promising Russian market.
