“In fact, the extension (“grain agreement” – ed.) was made for two months. I think we can get results by extending at least another two months. I think we can implement it,” Cavusoglu said.
As reported, on May 10, a meeting began in Istanbul between Turkey, Russia, Ukraine and the UN to continue the “grain initiative”, with the Russian Federation threatening to withdraw after May 18.
