This is stated in the letter of the Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzia to the Deputy Secretary General of the organization Martin Griffiths and the head of UNCTAD Rebecca Greenspan.
According to RIA Novosti, consideration of the possibility of extending the Black Sea Grain Initiative depends on achieving significant progress in the implementation of the memorandum of understanding between Russia and the United Nations Secretariat to assist in the promotion of Food and Fertilizers of Russia to global markets.
Earlier, the representative of the UN Secretary General Stephane Dujarric confirmed the extension of the grain deal and called for increased efforts to implement it.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia had agreed to extend the grain deal for only 60 days.
The permanent mission of Russia to the Geneva office of the Un said that the rumors spread by Ukraine about the extension of the "grain deal" for 120 days are either incompetence or deliberate disinformation.
