Ukraine, Russia set to sign deal on resuming grain exports

India TV News  

Russia-Ukraine war: Russia and Ukraine were expected to sign separate agreements with Turkey and the UN on Friday that would allow Ukraine to resume grain shipments to world markets and Russia to export grain and fertilisers, ending a standoff that threatened world food security while the two countries are at war in Ukraine. Ukrainian and Russian military delegations reached a tentative agreement last week on a UN plan that would enable Ukraine to export 22 million tons of desperately needed grain and other agricultural products that have been stuck in Black Sea ports due to the war. Guterres first raised the critical need to get Ukraine's agricultural production and Russia's grain and fertilizer back into world markets in late April during meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv. Ukraine's delegation “will support only those decisions that will guarantee the security of the southern regions of Ukraine, the strong position of the armed forces of Ukraine in the Black Sea and the safe export of Ukrainian agricultural products to world markets”, the spokesperson, Oleh Nikolenko, told reporters.
