Russia suspends Black Sea grain deal

As the war between Russia and Ukraine continues, there was a notable move by the Kremlin today…

While the Black Sea grain deal, which was brokered by Turkey and the United Nations in July last year, expires today, the Kremlin administration announced that it has suspended this deal.

The deal to avert a global food crisis has been extended several times, but the Russian administration has stressed in recent months that they will not extend the deal unless their demands are met.

The Russian news agency RIA announced that a statement will be made on the suspension of the agreement. The news agency also reported that Russia informed Turkey, Ukraine and the United Nations about the issue.
