Disputed grain deal
President Vladimir Putin says Moscow is ready to return to the black sea grain deal, as soon as the west meets its obligations regarding Russia’s grain and fertilizer exports. Putin made the announcement during a phone call with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He stressed further extension of the deal would be meaningless given the lack of progress in the implementation of the Russian part of the deal. The Black sea grain deal, brokered by Turkey and the UN in July last year aimed to relieve a global food crisis amid the Ukraine war. The UN was to help Russia with its exports in return for the safe export of Ukrainian grain during the war. Russia exited the deal last month as none of its demands have been met.
