Russia has an extensive list of requirements to extend the grain deal, starting with reconnecting Rosselkhozbank to the SWIFT system.
Grain corridor activity may be terminated if positive results are not achieved in talks in Istanbul this week. This was said by the spokesman of the President of Turkey, Ibrahim Kalin, reports CNN Turk on Wednesday, May 3.
“If the meeting does not bring a positive result, the shipment of grain may stop on May 18,” said Kalin.
It was noted that in the absence of a positive decision on the grain deal, serious problems may arise in the world’s food supplies.
Earlier on Wednesday, it was learned that negotiations on a grain deal will be held on May 5. But Moscow said that this issue has not yet been agreed upon.
