UN begins talks with Russia on Black Sea grains deal

GENEVA, 12 November 2022, (TON): A UN spokesperson said “talks between a Russian delegation and senior UN officials to address Moscow’s grievances about the Black Sea grains export initiative began in Geneva.”

The negotiations come just eight days before the deal brokered by the United Nations and Turkey in July is due to be renewed.

The accord has helped stave off a global food crisis by allowing the export of food and fertilizers from several of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports.

Moscow has indicated that it is prepared to quit the deal, which could expire on Nov. 19, if progress is not made on its concerns. Russia suspended its participation in late October but rejoined after four days.
