The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the Black Sea Initiative ("Grain Deal") expires on July 17 without grounds to extend it.
The Black Sea Initiative, signed in 2022 on July 22 by representatives of Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Nations, involves the export of Ukrainian grain and food, as well as fertilizers, through the Black Sea from three ports, including Odesa. The grain initiative is an integral part of the package agreement.
