The ball was now in Russia's court with the whole world watching, von der Leyen said. A Kremlin spokesman later clarified that Russia had not taken a final decision on whether to exit the grain deal. We will immediately rejoin this deal," Putin said. "We can suspend our participation in the deal, and if everyone once again says that all the promises made to us will be fulfilled, then let them fulfil this promise. Putin, in comments to Russian state television, also said the United Nations had so far failed to come up with a satisfactory solution to the issue and he denied having received any letter containing proposals from the UN Secretary General. President Vladimir Putin said that Russia was set to withdraw from a deal allowing the export of Ukrainian grain via the Black Sea unless its own demands are met, reaffirming Moscow's tough stance ahead of the deal's expiry next Monday.
