Moscow will re-enter a key grain export deal only if the West lifts banking and other restrictions that are hurting the Russian economy, the country’s president, Vladimir Putin, said Monday after a widely anticipated meeting with his Turkish counterpart.
Mr. Putin’s face-to-face conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the Russian coastal town of Sochi was billed as an opportunity to pull Russia back into a U.N.-backed grain export deal established last year. That pact allowed for the export of grain and other food supplies from Ukrainian ports amid the Russia-Ukraine war. The Kremlin withdrew from the agreement in July and accused the West of failing to live up to its end of the bargain.
If such restrictions are lifted, Mr. Putin said Russia could return to the deal “within the nearest days.”“Everyone is waiting for what will come out of our meeting today. I believe that the message at the press conference after the meeting will be an important step for the whole world, especially for African countries,” the Turkish president said, according to Reuters.
The attacks on Ukraine’s Reni seaport saw Russia reportedly launch at least 25 Iranian-made “loitering” drones at the facility along Ukraine’s Black Sea coast. Ukrainian officials said 22 of those drones were shot down. Two people were injured in the attack, which lasted over three hours, Ukrainian officials said.
