The leaders of Turkey and Russia are expected to soon discuss again the UN-backed initiative on grain exports from Ukrainian ports, but no date has yet been set, a source familiar with the process told Russian state news agency RIA today.
According to the Ukrainian government, negotiations on the initiative allowing grain exports through Ukrainian Black Sea ports are expected to take place within the week.
The deal is due to be renewed in March, but Moscow has expressed displeasure with some of its dimensions, notably the lifting of sanctions that hit its own agricultural exports.
The RIA source stated that “it is not excluded that the leaders” of the two countries will discuss the issue in the near future, apparently referring to the presidents of Turkey and Russia (Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Vladimir Putin).
Asked when, she limited herself to saying that she did not have “accurate data” at the moment.
