Shoigu and Turkish Defense Minister Akar discussed a grain deal

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu discussed the grain with his Turkish counterpart Hulusu Akar.

“National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar had a telephone conversation with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. During the talks, satisfaction was expressed with the cooperation in expanding the grain initiative, which has greatly contributed to solving the global food crisis, and the importance of an uninterrupted grain supply. It was once again underlined that Turkey will continue to contribute to ensuring peace in the region and providing humanitarian aid,” the Turkish Defense Ministry said.

Moscow has decided to reduce the period of the next extension to 60 days, ie until May 18.

Earlier, Putin said that if the grain deal was not extended, the Russian Federation would provide free grain to Africa.

In addition, Deputy Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General Farahan Haq said there was a need to study what progress can be made in implementing Russian demands under the grain deal.
