MOSCOW, May 20. /TASS/. The next two months will offer a window of opportunities to the West to implement its obligations under the grain deal, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told TASS on Saturday.

"It is a window of opportunities for the West, who is so much concerned about global food security, to do what it promised to," he said on the sidelines of the 31st Assembly of the Council for Foreign and Defense Policy, commenting on Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remark that the next two months would decide the future of the grain deal.

According to Grushko, the Black Sea Grain Initiative contains all the obligations that the parties need to implement. "The deal itself contains all the obligations that need to be implemented by everyone," he said on the sidelines of the 31st Assembly of the Council for Foreign and Defense Policy, commenting on a statement by the Ukrainian ambassador to Turkey that the deal did not provide for the implementation of Russia’s demands.

"There is the necessary mechanism, called pacta sunt servanda, which means a principle of international law that provides for the implementation of all the signed agreements," Grushko added.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on May 17 that the grain deal had been extended for 60 days. Russia’s Foreign Ministry pointed out earlier that the Russia-related part of the accords was not being implemented.
