The deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council warned the G7 countries on Sunday that if they impose a ban on their exports to Russia, it could mean the end of the Ukraine grain deal.
“The idea of the G7 about a total ban on exports to our country is magnificent by definition, because it also implies the cessation of imports of the most sensitive products from our country to the G7,” warned Dmitri Medvedev on Telegram.
The former Russian president, who recently stood out for his rude and aggressive comments on social networks, clarified that “in this case, the cereal agreement and many other things that they need will be terminated.”
The Japanese news agency Kyodo reported, citing Japanese government sources, that the G7 countries are considering banning most of their exports to Russia.
This situation arises approximately a month before the G7 summit in the Japanese city of Hiroshima (west), scheduled for May, where it is expected that, as in the ministerial meetings already held under the Japanese presidency, the war in Ukraine will end. . one of the central themes.
“We know that there is news about it, but we avoid commenting,” a spokeswoman for the Japanese Foreign Ministry told Efe, in line with the position of the government spokesperson.
This information comes shortly after a publication informing that the United States and Ukraine are considering imposing such a veto.
The G7 countries have already frozen the export of a wide range of products to Russia, including those with potential military use and luxury items, but the extension of the ban could affect cars, tires, cosmetics or clothing, according to EFE.
