Proposals to extend the grain deal in letters to the leaders of Russia, Ukraine and Turkey take into account the positions of all parties. UN calls on all parties to continue discussions, overcome difficulties and work on extending and implementing the initiative.

High-level meeting on grain deal will be held next week in Istanbul. Russian Minister-Councillor Andrei Ledenev said that the grain initiative has become a commercial project. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the prospect of extending the deal is unclear and depends on Russia's requirements.
