Media: it is too early to talk about the timing of the extension of the grain deal

Specific terms for extending the grain deal have not yet been discussed. The options voiced in the press are only the initiatives of the parties, a source told RIA Novosti.

According to the agency, the details of further work are now being discussed. This process is very complex. Everything will be decided at the negotiating table at the end of the discussion.

“Specific terms have not been discussed now, various options are available”– said source.

It is also too early to talk about the timeline that Kyiv is counting on.

Earlier, the heads of the G7 countries stated the importance of extending the grain deal.

Recall that according to the agreements reached on July 22, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey were supposed to ensure the supply of grain from Russian and Ukrainian ports to poor countries. However, in reality, deliveries are constantly interrupted, and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan reported that almost half of the grain settles in Europe, not reaching the starving people of Africa.

The deal will end on March 18.
