By KYIV. May 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Spokesperson for the UN Secretary General Stephane Dujarric said on Monday that before the expiration of the Black Sea grain deal on May 18, consultations on its extension would be held at the technical level.
“They will be held at a technical level,” he answered the corresponding question from journalists.
In addition, Dujarric once again stressed the vital importance of the Black Sea Grain Initiative. According to the UN, grain prices have fallen by 20% since the start of the food deal.
Last week, negotiations were held in Istanbul to extend the grain deal between representatives of Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, and the UN.
