Erdogan and Putin had a phone call today and again Putin voice his displeasure at a “failure to fulfill the second part of the package agreements - to unblock the export of Russian agricultural products and fertilizers.” 🧵⬇️ kremlin.ru/events/preside…
As I’ve discussed before, there are no sanctions blocking the export of Russian agricultural products or fertilizer and there is currently a proposal in front of Putin to export more Russian ammonia.
Putin wasn’t Erdogan’s only diplomatic phone call today as he also spoke with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Erdogan continues to express his belief that the problems with the grain deal will be resolved. hurriyetdailynews.com/cavusogu-lavro…

78 loads and 2,209,311MT went to lower income countries according to the UN🇺🇳 categories.
Also, everyone welcome Morrocco🇲🇦 to the Black Sea Grain Initiative, 42 countries!
Three ships traveled out of Odesa area ports today through the humanitarian corridor. The Bomustafa O (22,800MT Wheat to Libya🇱🇾), the Nimet Torlak (12,690MT Sunflower Meal to Morrocco🇲🇦) and the SSI Challenger (49,000MT Corn to Germany🇩🇪).
The JCC has announced they do not plan any movements through the Humanitarian corridor on November 2nd. More importantly....
"The UN Secretariat reiterates that movements and inspections carried out after the Russian Federation suspended its participation in implementation activities at the Joint Coordination Centre is a temporary and extraordinary measure."
Meaning they don't intend to continue operating in this way for an extended time. I suspect this is another step in the cooling off period they are trying to give Putin.
The JCC advises that three ships have left Odesa area ports this morning headed for the Bosphorus North Anchorage, Bomustafa O, Nimet Torlak and SSI Challanger. 🚢
Ships already mid-trip will have active insurance for seven days to transit out of Ukraine if the JCC believed it was possible. And apparently they do, as the Ukrainian, Turkish and UN delegations have agreed and the Russian delegation has been notified.🚢
The JCC also advises that “The UN Coordinator for the Black Sea Grain Initiative Amir Abdulla continues his discussions with all three member state parties in an effort to resume full participation at the Joint Coordination Centre.”🇺🇳
Four ships 🚢 were scheduled to travel to into Odesa area ports today through the humanitarian corridor but only three travelled. The Mavka is alongside at Chornomorsk, the Esentepe is underway to Yuzhnyy, and…

Tomahawk alongside China carrying 60,000MT of Sunflower Meal.

No ships travelled the humanitarian corridor today but seven ships are sitting at the Odesa Anchorage waiting to enter 31 October, IKARIA ANGEL (@WFP Ship to Ethiopia), SK FRIENDSHIP, SEALOCK, DESPINA V, AFRICAN ROBIN, ST SOFIA, NICHOLAS A.
What are the important notes? 1. The UN held meetings with all parties today. 2. In cooperation with Turkey and Ukraine the UN intends to allow ships into the Humanitarian Corridor on 31 October. 3. Also with cooperation from Turkey the UN intends to inspect ships on 31 October.
