#联合国正推动俄罗斯银行回归swift系统# 这一说法完全曲解了联合国,当时发言人说这件事的时候我就在现场。

联合国想让部分遭制裁的俄罗斯银行接入SWIFT系统,来解决俄罗斯化肥和食物出口的支付问题。这是俄罗斯要求执行与联合国签署的谅解备忘录,以继续执行《黑海农作物外运协议》的条件之一,跟国内很多分析没啥关系。

根据某联合国高级官员的说法,目前俄罗斯给了联合国两个月来处理两个问题:1、负责农业出口银行的SWIFT支付问题;2、通过管道运送氨肥到乌克兰黑海港口的问题。如果这两个问题都没有解决,那么5月18日,俄乌土三方签署、联合国见证的《黑海农作物外运协议》就会停止了。

俄罗斯这次非常的坚决,坚决到上周拒绝了一艘联合国世界粮食计划署(WFP)的运粮船进行检查后从乌克兰运粮。俄罗斯认为,俄罗斯方面的协议完全没有执行,而乌克兰却通过运粮赚了上亿美元,而且还做了形象宣传。

附上发言人与记者交流英文原文(看,他们一直在讨论农业相关银行的SWIFT,不是整个俄罗斯金融机构):

Question: Okay. And I have a question about the grain deal. So Russia keeps insisting on the SWIFT system being made available to this agricultural bank. I can't remember the name of it. Would it help the negotiations if Russia agreed to a different bank. because this seems to be one of the main sticking points?

Spokesperson: The issue of the facility and this is not with the grain deal per se, but with the MoU between Russia and the UN on the facilitation of export of Russian food and fertilizer. Obviously, the fact that a number of Russian financial institutions are not, if not all of them, I'm not sure, are not in the SWIFT system makes things more complicated. And we are in discussions with the people who are responsible for SWIFT and the Europeans and others on that.

Question: So is there any progress on that? You've been discussing this for what, nine months?

Spokesperson: I know we've been, but it's not… I think there's some issues in which we have power. Very few, but this is not one of them. Secretary-General has no authority over SWIFT. He has no authority over Member States that impose unilateral sanctions. He has no authority over insurance companies, shipping companies. He can't tell them what to do. We're trying to herd a whole group of people. Some of them are part of trade associations. Some of them are in private sectors, governments, European Union and others to make sure that this MoU is implemented. We have not stopped, but we don't have the authority to do the things that those who have the authority need to do to make sure it's implemented.

Question: But why is Russia putting the onus on the UN to do this then if you don’t have the authority?

Spokesperson: Well, there is an agreement. Our motivation is to ensure that those countries who need it the most, the poorest countries, developing countries have access to that food and to that fertilizer, which is not under sanction.
