Moscow could revive the Black Sea grain deal and allow Ukraine to export millions of tons of agricultural products to food-importing nations in exchange for Western sanctions on Russia being relaxed, President Vladimir Putin said on Monday.
Speaking after talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the Russian resort city of Sochi, Putin said that the U.N.-brokered deal could be restarted “in the coming days,” provided restrictions on Russian agricultural exports were dropped.
