The grain deal expired in July 2022 and was extended by 120 days in November. His term expires this week – March 18.

Negotiations have begun in Geneva, Switzerland, between UN officials and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin to extend the grain deal. Reuters reported this on Monday, March 13.

UN Trade Representative Rebeca Greenspan and Chief Relief Officer Martin Griffiths arrived this morning at the UN European Headquarters in Geneva without comment.

Two sources said the talks were originally supposed to last just one day, but could be extended if necessary.

The grain deal expired in July 2022 and was extended by 120 days in November. His term expires this week – March 18.

Russia has repeatedly said it would only agree to an extension if restrictions on its own grain and fertilizer exports were lifted. Although the current sanctions do not directly affect agriculture, Western restrictions on the payment, logistics and insurance industries of the Russian Federation have created a barrier to exports.

As you know, Russia blocks inspections of grain ships in the Bosphorus. As a result, in January, the export of Ukrainian agricultural products fell by 25% compared to December.

And this week in Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelensky and UN Secretary-General António Guterres backed the extension of the grain deal.
