🎙Maria Zakharova on the restrictions imposed by Jordan on the use of its airspace by a number of domestic airlines:

We proceed from the fact that #Jordan is a friendly state to Russia, and we do not consider the decision taken in Amman as politically motivated and directed against the interests of our country.

We hope that we will be able to resolve our partners' concerns about the safety of domestic aircraft, which have all the necessary documents for transit flights through Jordanian airspace, including insurance policies issued in accordance with ICAO recommendations. Russia fully fulfills its obligations in the field of flight safety in accordance with the provisions of the Convention on International Civil Aviation of 1944 and the intergovernmental agreement on air traffic concluded between Russia and Jordan in 2009.

Vassily #Nebenzia: We note the alarming regularity of outbreaks of violence in the Occupied Palestinian territories, including the West Bank of the Jordan River, as well as in the Gaza Strip. We are convinced that the situation will remain explosive until the parties reach mutually acceptable agreements on all final status issues based on the universally recognized international legal framework of the Middle Eastern Settlement with a central element - a two–State solution, which we always support.

🗓 On December 21, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin and officials from related Russian ministries and companies held a regular round of consultations with a UN delegation via video conference. The delegation included Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Rebeca Grynspan and Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths.

Regarding the Black Sea Grain Initiative, it was reaffirmed that the agreement would be further carried out as approved, including the coordinated parameters and procedures, during the 120-day extension period until March 18, 2023. So far, 580 ships have used the maritime humanitarian corridor to carry over 14.8 million tonnes of grain, mainly forage grain, which accounted for 70 percent of all cargo, to mostly industrial nations – 51 percent of all supplies.

🎙️ President Vladimir Putin answered a range of topical questions from journalists.

Key points:

🔻There are no ideal situations. Ideal situations only happen in plans, on paper. But in general, Russia made it through the year quite confidently.

🔻 Everything that is connected with the special military operation in Ukraine, is an absolutely forced and necessary measure.

🔻 As for the economy, despite the collapses, devastation and catastrophe predicted for us in the economic sphere, nothing like that is happening. Russia is performing much better than many G20 countries.

🔻Every conflict ends with negotiations on the diplomatic track, one way or another, and we have never refused to negotiate.

🔻 The Western nations are used to robbing other countries. And an attempt at non-market regulation in the economy is the same colonial robbery, or, in any case, an attempt at colonial robbery.

⚡️ On certain aspects of implementing the Istanbul agreements on food and fertiliser:

⚠️ We see that the Black Sea Initiative still suffers from serious imbalances in its implementation both in terms of the geography of those who receive Ukrainian food exports, as well as the products it exports. These shipments were presented as part of a humanitarian undertaking, while mostly going to high-income countries. Poorer countries have received 3 percent of these shipments at best. In addition, fodder corn and feeder grain account for 70 percent of the shipments. This means that the initiative evolved into a business project with the idea that those who need these food products would be able to buy them at a lower price.
