The German Foreign Minister, Johann Weddepaul, expressed hope that in the coming weeks a deal will be completed to export grain through the Black Sea from Russia and Ukraine. He told ZDF about it. "We will not solve the Ukrainian conflict completely, but we must ensure that grain can be transferred from Ukraine and Russia to the countries of the Global South. ‹...› Therefore, I do not want to give up and believe that results can be achieved here in the coming weeks," he said. Earlier, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski called for an early ceasefire in the Black Sea to ensure the safe passage of grain ships from Russia and Ukraine. On October 26, the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, Alexander Elimov, emphasized that Russia now sees no prospects for renewing the grain deal. On October 25, the Financial Times wrote that the Black Sea has become more dangerous than any other shipping route in the world.
