Insurance and maintenance of ships carrying grain and other food products to ports in Europe and from there to ports in developing countries.
Lavrov rejected attempts to solve the problem of grain exports from Ukrainian ports using a UN Security Council resolution, describing these attempts as “old games”, adding that “ Everyone knows that this (solution) only requires one thing.
