Gazprombank is still not SDN sanctioned and not disconnected from SWIFT as Europe still needs Russian gas despite all the moral grandstanding in the news.
Same was asked to keep Rosselkhozbank outside of sanctions or at least keep a JV or an SPV available to export grain. Same as with Minsk 2 accords, nothing was done by western players to facilitate this. Therefore it doesn’t make sense to keep the deal going.
Emerging markets that need Russian grain will keep receiving it. (Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan and so oh). Ukranian grain that mostly was marketed by the likes of Cargill to Western Europe will be stuck or exported via rail.
Sounds like you will have to eat those irradiated croissants made from grain near that Khmelnitskiy depleted uranium explosion, pierre. I pity you.
/edit: goomshill makes a good point about releasing azov nazis and accepting Sweden into NATO.
Let’s see what Russians will do these few next weeks.
