The head of the MIU Kubrakov: the extension of the grain deal for 60 days is contrary to the agreement

He noted that the agreement provides for the extension of the grain deal for at least 120 days.

“Therefore, Russia’s position on extending the agreement for only 60 days contradicts the document signed by Turkey and the UN,” RIA Novosti quotes Kubrakov’s words on Twitter.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershini said that Moscow had no objection to extending the grain deal, which expires on March 18, but only for 60 days.
