Details: No process that marginalizes Russia in the Black Sea Grain Initiative will be viable,” Erdogan told reporters after the G20 summit in New Delhi.
He announced an upcoming meeting on this issue between representatives of Russia, Ukraine and the United Nations, without specifying the exact date and location.
The grain deal brokered by the UN and Turkey collapsed after Russia unilaterally withdrew from it in July. Since then, Moscow has repeatedly attacked Ukraine’s port infrastructure.
Let us remind you:
Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Erdogan in Sochi last week. The Turkish president hoped to restore the agreement, but failed. At the G20 summit this weekend, Erdogan called on G20 leaders to satisfy some Russian requirements to restore the Black Sea Grain Initiative. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stated that the weakening of part of the sanctions regime against the Russian Federation in exchange for the restoration of the “grain deal” will be a victory for the Russian food supply.
