The Russian Foreign Ministry sees no prospects for extending the grain deal.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin [ColonelCassad] This is not surprising, given that the key requirements of the Russian Federation are not being met as expected, and the factor of indirect support for Erdogan in the elections has already been removed from the agenda.  It is also worth noting that the number of ships sent under the grain deal dropped very sharply back in May, which is due to Russia slowing down checks when ships pass through the Bosphorus. Hopes for the opening of an ammonia pipeline seem to be a sophisticated form of masochism, like waiting for the implementation of the Minsk agreements. The issue of withdrawing from the grain deal and concluding a new agreement with the Turks without the participation of Ukraine seems promising, which would allow Turkey to implement its plans for a food hub, and the Russian Federation to use Turkey as one of the channels for supplying food and fertilizers abroad.
