At a press conference following the meeting with his Bahraini counterpart, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, Lavrov said that they discussed the situation in Ukraine, including the issue of food security. Lavrov noted that Russia has been looking for ways to deblock Ukrainian sea ports to allow for grain exports for over a month now, but Kiev has yet to clear the coastal waters mined by Ukrainian forces.
"If this demining problem is solved, and we have been attracting the attention of our Western colleagues who have been worried about this for many weeks, then on the high seas, as I said, the Russian navy will ensure the unhindered passage of these vessels into the Mediterranean Sea and on to their destinations," Lavrov said.
