The Ministry of Production and Trade of Nicaragua and the Kremlin-controlled Council of Ministers of Crimea have signed a trade and economic cooperation agreement, which includes the export of wheat from Crimea to Central America in exchange for the import of coffee and fruit. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has labeled this as a violation of Ukrainian laws and international norms, as it recognizes Crimea as part of Ukraine. The agreement aims to facilitate mutually beneficial supplies of various products, including rum, meat, coffee, fruits, cigars, cocoa, sugar, fish, shellfish and crustaceans, wheat, and metallurgical products.
