Reuters reports.

"I think we're quite close, we're edging towards it this week

 I think both sides and we at the UN also recognize the value. It's essential", Griffiths said.

He is convinced that in a year, problems with food may begin, if export of fertilizers is not resumed.

According to the Under-Secretary-General of the UN, it is possible to resume export of ammonia within 1-2 weeks.

"Operation of ammonia pipeline from Russia through Ukraine to the ports of Odesa is well understood. It is not difficult, it can be started within a week or two", Griffiths said.
