"Turkey and Russia to Negotiate New Black Sea Grain Export Mechanism"

Turkish President Erdogan plans to discuss a new mechanism for allowing Ukrainian grain exports through the Black Sea with Russian President Putin during an upcoming visit. Efforts are being made to find alternative methods for transporting Ukrainian grain to world markets after Russia pulled out of the Black Sea Grain Initiative. Despite the absence of the accord, some ships have managed to transport Ukrainian grain from the Black Sea, and Turkey aims to address this de-facto situation with the new mechanism.
