Turkish President Erdogan announces two-month extension of Türkiye-brokered deal under which Ukraine ships grain across the Black Sea to global markets
President Erdogan also thanked his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for their efforts in extending the deal again.
He made the announcement a day before the black sea grain deal was set to expire on May 18, during his address to Justice and Development Party's provincial heads, deputies and mayors via video link. Türkiye, the UN, Russia, and Ukraine initially signed the agreement in Istanbul last July to resume grain exports from three Ukrainian Black Sea ports, which were halted after the Russia-Ukraine war began in February 2022.
