"Russia and Turkey Discuss Alternative to Black Sea Deal as Ukraine's Grain Deal and Syria Talks Stall"

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan will discuss a proposal for an alternative to the Black Sea grain deal, which Russia pulled out of last month. Under the plan, Russia would send a million tons of grain to Turkey at a discounted price, with financial support from Qatar, to be processed in Turkey and sent to countries most in need. Russia claims that the alternative proposal is a more optimal solution than the previous deal, as it believes too little grain was reaching the poorest countries.
