But the news conference by Lavrov and his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu was coming to an end without Muslim Umerov having been able to ask his question, despite repeated attempts.

"I am from Ukrainian public television, I absolutely want to ask a question!" he said.

Lavrov was visibly embarrassed by the unscripted question, after the news conference's carefully worded exchanges. "Apart from cereals, what other goods did you steal from Ukraine and who did you sell them to?" the journalist asked. Lavrov, smiling, shot back:"You Ukrainians are always worried about what you can steal and you think everyone thinks that way!"We are not obstructing the grain. In order for it to leave the ports, Mr Zelensky must give the order, that's all," he added.
