Ukraine may agree to transit of Russian ammonia if POW exchange takes place according to "all for all" formula - Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum conference on Thursday, Interfax-Ukraine reports. 

“Regarding the export of ammonia. We can agree only if the exchange of prisoners of war "all for all" is implemented. We do not want to trade with Russia and help them - they are our enemy. I said that we can agree only if they exchange all our prisoners for their captives,” Zelenskyy said.

The transit of Russian ammonia through the Tolyatti-Odesa pipeline was stopped on the first day of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. The total length of the Tolyatti-Odesa ammonia pipeline is 2,418 thousand km, of which more than a thousand square kilometers pass through the territory of Ukraine. The operator of its Ukrainian part is the state-owned Ukrhimtransamiak enterprise, and the Russian ammonia delivered to the state Odesa Port Plant was previously supplied for export.

• The grain agreement, which allowed the resumption of food exports from the ports of Ukraine, was extended for 120 days. The decision was made on November 17 in Istanbul.

• UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres welcomed the continuation of the grain agreement, but called for the removal of obstacles to the export of fertilizers from the Russian Federation.
