Erdogan offered Putin to extend the grain agreement
Turkish President Recep Erdogan proposed to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to extend the grain agreement, which made it possible to open Black Sea ports for the export of Ukrainian grain.
– We are determined to increase and continue grain exports within the framework of the Istanbul Agreement, – said Erdogan.
He emphasized that the agreement should also apply to the transportation of Russian grain and fertilizers through Turkey.
The day before, Putin said that the export of grain and fertilizers of the Russian Federation is not subject to direct Western sanctions, but it has problems with access to foreign ports and obtaining insurance.
The Russian dictator said that Turkey is one of the reliable routes for delivering gas to the territory of the European Union member states, proposing to create a “gas hub”.
Foreign publications assume that the aggressor Russia wants to maintain its energy influence on Europe and reroute gas supplies from the Nord Stream pipeline damaged by explosions.
