Russia Sets Conditions for Grain Deal Talks and Sanctions Resolution

Russian officials continuing to press for a practical path on the grain agreement emphasized that Moscow is not closing the door to talks, even as it notes that Russian demands have not yet been satisfied. The discussion, aired during a press briefing with the Rossiya Segodnya media group, framed the issue as part of a broader information environment where Russia believes the grain deal has been used to propagate an anti-Russia narrative. This stance was underscored by high-level diplomats who stressed that dialogue remains possible, but only under a framework that guarantees concrete results, not merely public promises.
