"Turkey's Leader Seeks to Revive Black Sea Grain Deal in Crucial Meeting with Putin"

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi to discuss the reestablishment of the Black Sea grain deal, which Russia broke off in July. The deal allowed for the safe transportation of millions of metric tons of grain and other commodities from Ukraine. Turkey, a major broker in the deal, aims to renew the agreement to prevent a food crisis in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The talks come amid tensions between Russia and the West, with Russia demanding certain actions from Western countries for the deal to resume.
