He noted that the world has finally demonstrated that the Kremlin understands only the language of power.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba commented on the statements of the Russian side that allegedly in exchange for the return of the Russian Federation to the implementation of the “grain agreement”, our country promised not to attack the Black Sea Fleet. The minister reminded that Ukraine has never used “green corridors” for military purposes and is not going to do so in the future.
“This guarantee is just Russia's way of maintaining visibility. Russia returned to the green initiative not because someone gave it any assurances, but because there was a lot of behind-the-scenes diplomacy from the UN Secretary General and the President of Turkey,” Kuleba said during an interview. ю Cadena SER. – And they spoke in the language that Putin understands, that is, the language of strength. It was not the language of concessions. It was the language of strength. If you speak to him in this way and back up your words with actions, you can always win.”
Kuleba reminded that until February 24, many people in the world made mistakes in communicating with Vladimir Putin – they tried to appease him, to make concessions to him. However, the situation with the “grain agreement” showed that such mechanisms do not work, since the Kremlin only understands the language of force.
“If you start making concessions, it will bite you even more. In this particular situation, the UN, Turkey and Ukraine had a coordinated position, and Russia returned to the Ukrainian initiative. But, as an argument to save face, guarantees are used,” explained the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry – But, as I said, Ukraine has never used this “green corridor” for military purposes. We have always been a reliable supplier of food to the world market because, unlike Russia, we care about people.”

Putin's decision to suspend participation was allegedly motivated by a drone attack on Sevastopol Bay, during which the remnants of the Black Sea Fleet, once the “second army of the world,” were damaged. In fact, Moscow has long been preparing the groundwork for withdrawing from this agreement, as warned by President Volodymyr Zelensky back in mid-October. With another blackmail, the Russian Federation probably wanted to achieve a return to negotiations, but again nothing came of it.
