Strictly speaking, what is the essence of the grain agreement for Russia? This is to stop shelling the territory of Ukraine, in particular, its Black Sea ports, to stop attacking civilian ships and, thus, to enable Ukraine to sell its grain on the international market. That is, in fact, the international community demanded from Russia to stop engaging in robbery and piracy against a neighboring state. Therefore, it is not necessary to show the actions of Russia as something that happens within the framework of ordinary civil contracts and the observance of some legitimate interests of Russia.
Are you seriously? This is the essence of the grain deal not for Russia, but for Ukraine. What is the benefit in this for Russia? Ukraine is a direct competitor of Russia in the grain supply market, why should Russia help its competitor? Russia is now the world leader in wheat exports, and this is largely because it has taken part of the market share from Ukraine. Only business, nothing personal. Try to learn to look at things more broadly, any deal should be mutually beneficial. Russia is constantly trying to be persuaded to gestures of goodwill, and then instead of gratitude, this is perceived as a sign of weakness. Do not do it this way.
Yesterday there was information that the Israeli ship Ams1, despite threats from Russia, entered the Ukrainian branch of the Danube. It is the first ship to break the Russian blockade of the Black Sea since Russia's bombardment of the Danube port of Reni on 25 July. Ams1 is followed by Sahin 2 and Yilmaz Kaptan. Origin of these vessels: Israel, Greece and Türkiye/Georgia. The American P8 anti-ship aircraft provides security. It is refueled directly in the skies of Romania. Additional information is provided by the Forte12 RQ-4 reconnaissance drone.
The situation is escalating and soon we will find out whether Russia is ready to fight with the whole world.

There is no and never was any blockade for the Danube, transport grain by land and along the Danube as much as you like, the blockade is only for transportation along the Black Sea. The problem with transportation along the Danube is not in the blockade by Russia, but in its depth, which is insufficient for large bulk carriers. In small river barges - as much as you like, you can even transport grain by plane.
Well, why deny the obvious past events and facts?
On July 24, Russia attacked the Danube terminals of Reni and Izmail with Iranian drones. At the same time, three drones were shot down, the rest destroyed the hangar with grain and damaged storage tanks for cargo.
Having bombed the elevators and the port in Odessa, Russia took up alternative routes for the export of Ukrainian grain, which has already led to new rounds of food prices in the world, since Ukraine is one of the world's leading grain suppliers and Russia's main competitor in the grain market. The Danube is one of the key export routes with a monthly throughput of over 2 million tons.
Since the port of Reni is located close to the border with Moldova and across the Danube from Romania, analysts believed that Russia would not risk bombing an object a hundred meters from the territory of a NATO member state. But it wasn’t enough for Russia that in nine days after withdrawing from the grain deal, it destroyed over 180 thousand tons of grain, 26 port infrastructure facilities and sank five civilian ships by launching missile attacks on the Black Sea ports of Ukraine.

So you say, carry grain by land and along the Danube as much as you like? Thus, Russia eliminates a trade competitor in the face of Ukraine? Purely bandit methods of a terrorist country.
