Russia announced that the contract for transporting Ukrainian grain from the Black Sea has been extended for another 60 days.
According to Isna, citing Sputnik, a Russian diplomat announced today (Wednesday) that the contract for transporting Ukrainian grain from the Black Sea has been extended for another 60 days. Of course, the extension of this contract depends on the fulfillment of all promises to the Russian side.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin said in a statement issued by the Russian delegation in Geneva: Russia does not oppose the new extension of the “Black Sea Initiative” after the end of the second term on March 18, but only for 60 days.
This agreement, which was first mediated by the United Nations and Turkey last July, was extended once in November for 120 days and will be extended on March 18 if the parties do not object.
So far, about 24 million tons of Ukrainian products have been shipped under the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
