Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Moscow would return to the deal as soon as the West meets five key demands, which are:
Readmission of the Russian Agricultural Bank (Rosselkhozbank) to the SWIFT payment system.
Resumption of exports of agricultural machinery and spare parts to Russia.
Removal of restrictions on insurance and access to ports for Russian ships and cargo.
Reinstatement of a now-damaged ammonia export pipeline from Russia’s Togliatti to Odesa in Ukraine.
The unblocking of accounts and financial activities of Russian fertilizer companies.
“If all these conditions are fulfilled, which we previously agreed on — they are not something I have invented now — but as soon as they are fulfilled, we will immediately return to the deal,” Putin said.

To make it real simple, Russia is declaring that any ships sailing to the Ukraine through the Black Sea will be assumed to be carrying weapons.
