Moscow announced that the prospects for extending the grain agreement are not good. The Russian part of the deal is stalled, and it has not been implemented so far.
On March 19, the United Nations announced the extension of the UN-brokered Trans-Black Sea Grain Initiative to supply markets with food and fertilizers. The agreement included securing grain exports stranded in Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea (eastern Europe) to address global food shortages that threaten a humanitarian catastrophe. It was signed in Istanbul on July 22, 2022.
