US Accuses Russia of Bypassing Sanctions Through Turkey

The US told Turkey that Russian entities were trying to use Turkey to bypass Western sanctions imposed on Russia, the Treasury Department said. The statement was made in a phone call between US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo and Turkey's Deputy Finance Minister Yunus Elitas.

In the call, the two discussed ongoing efforts to execute and enforce sanctions against Russia, the US treasury department said in a statement.

Earlier today, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that Russian fertilisers and agricultural products must be able to reach world markets "unimpeded" or a global food crisis could strike as early as next year.

"It is important that all governments and the private sector cooperate to bring them to market," he said from the Joint Coordination Center.

The JCC manages the implementation of the Ukrainian grain export agreement signed in July by Kyiv and Moscow with the UN and Turkey as guarantors.
