ANKARA, March 14 (Reuters) – Turkey’s Defense Ministry said on Tuesday talks on extending a deal allowing the export of Ukrainian grain across the Black Sea were still ongoing.
In a statement, the Turkish ministry said Russia had agreed to support a 60-day extension of the agreement, negotiated in July between Moscow and Kyiv with the mediation of Turkey and the United Nations.
Russia said the deal was extended for 60 days, but Ukraine said the deal only allowed for a 120-day extension.
